[dba-Tech] Let's talk about RSS

If you wanted to get carried away you could store the rss
feed in an Access database something like

Sub TechEDMicrosoftRSSFeed()
Dim srcTree As Object
Dim xsltTree As Object
Dim strHTML As String
 Set srcTree = CreateObject("Msxml.DOMDocument")
        srcTree.async = False
        srcTree.Load ("http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_jones/rss.aspx")
 'srcTree.Load ("http://services.devx.com/outgoing/recentTipsFeed.xml")
 Set xsltTree = CreateObject("Msxml.DOMDOCUMENT")
        xsltTree.async = False
        'this xsl transform file can also be loaded via a local disk file
        xsltTree.Load ("http://www5.brinkster.com/mconnelly/newsfeed.xsl")

        strHTML = srcTree.transformNode(xsltTree)
 
        Debug.Print strHTML
        ' Display transformed xml rss news feed in html via IE 6.0 window

'        testIE (strHTML)
       
End Sub
