While VB is little off-topic, since I have some experience with it, I thought I'd offer the benefit of it. Your question was along the lines of "Why doesn't this work?": > Set objNodeList = > objXMLDoc.selectNodes("//DAvailability/DefaultAvail[@ResourceID = > '$r_iResourceID]") According to my copy of the MSXML SDK docs, the .selectNodes method takes a string as its argument which will evaluate to an XPath expression. I believe the operative word here is "string". If you are going to pass a string and incorporate a variable's value, you have to use standard VB string concatenation operators. Try this construct and let me know if it works: Set objNodeList = objXMLDoc.selectNodes("//DAvailability/DefaultAvail[@ResourceID = '" & $r_iResourceID & "']") Note that the single quotes are enclosed in the double quotes so that $r_iResourceID is between the concatenation operators with no intervening quotation. If the value of $r_iResourceID is "26", the string in the .selectNodes argument should evaluate to: //DAvailability/DefaultAvail[@ResourceID = '26'] which is a proper XPath expression. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
