IE will open ab XML document.

could I use something like for example the webbrowser so its within my main app. e.g when the user clicks a cmd button it loads the xml into it?

I've never tried it. Let me know if it works.

I managed to do it the easy way lol and just load it in a text box using this code

Private Sub cmdLoadXML_Click()
    Dim xmlDoc As New DOMDocument
    Dim xmlRootElement As IXMLDOMElement
    Dim xmlError As IXMLDOMParseError
    Dim success As Boolean
 
    xmlDoc.async = False
    
    xmlDoc.validateOnParse = True
    success = xmlDoc.Load("c:/mgamerz/audiolist.xml")
    If success = True Then
        Set xmlRootElement = xmlDoc.documentElement
        txtXML.Text = xmlRootElement.xml
        Set xmlRootElement = Nothing
    Else
        Set xmlError = xmlDoc.parseError
        txtXML.Text = "Error code: " & xmlError.errorCode & vbCrLf _
                   & "Reason: " & xmlError.reason & vbCrLf _
                   & "Source: " & vbCrLf & xmlError.srcText & vbCrLf _
                   & "URL: " & xmlError.url
        Set xmlError = Nothing
    End If
End Sub

IE formats it nicely. That's why I wondered if the web browser control did.
Glad you got it working.

[robvr6]

yeah it isnt to well formatted as it is is it done in a similar way using IE? I wanted it to be in a box within the app can this be done with IE and how hard is it?

Thanks

You just put the control on a form, and that's it. I don't have any code handy. I use the web browser, or Inet control.

[robvr6]

is that a reference or component?

[robvr6]

Also would I be able to use the same code but replace the textbox with the webbrowser1?

thanks

I can't find any code to open it in a form. not sure that it wasn't a web browser

that's why you should try it to see if it IS the same as IE. open the file with
file:\\myxml.xml instead of http:\\
