stirling,
yes, thank you for your explanation. Not being sarcastic, but it's quite hard to find a solution that is directly compatible within Mach3's Cypress VB. That's what I meant. So far I only managed to play with read/write using text files, but for really read/write of XML, i find myself still impossible, but may not be to you.
I've been looking for it for years. I self learn VB through Mach3, I can't go any further because I don't understand the original VB works, only Mach3's Cypress VB.
