Your code is not exactly the solution for the problem I was confronted
with, but you pointed me in the right direction.
Is your code a, so called, XML parser?
To convert the raw data into useable fields/values?
Below code is what I created thanks to you (slow but it works).
Dim objSrvHTTP As ServerXMLHTTP
Set objSrvHTTP = New ServerXMLHTTP50
With objSrvHTTP
.Open "GET",
"http://www.dummywebsite.com/xml/xmlonl.asp?custid=DummyCustID&prodid=78
3662", False
.Send
Debug.Print .responseXML.XML
End With
Set objSrvHTTP = Nothing
Great stuff XML....
Pretty easyer than analysing a returned HTML page (been there, done
that)

Here is how I grab an xml RSS news feed file from Microsoft and stick
xml elements into a table It is a little lite on error handling and
needs reference to XML 4.0, I run from Access97.
If your files are large above a couple of megabytes, you may have to use
the SAX parser.
