I have just started dabbling in XML (about an hour ago in fact!) just a couple of questions to get me started...

1. How easy is XML to use with VB? (Could you give a simple example?)

2. Is it a viable alternative to databases (for small projects I mean (perhaps < 1000 records))?

I've just been playing around with tags and the tree structure layout (I only have XML version 1 that comes with IE5). How do I upgrade to the latest version (v4.0?), will I need to upgrade IE?
