Source XML document
--------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<SynchronizationObjectsDocument >
<ApplicationArea>
<DocId>dea9593b-4c60-4c1a-ab7f-004a4e336ac5</DocId>
<CreationDateTime>2004-05-13T21:31:48-04:00</CreationDateTime>
</ApplicationArea>
<Data>
<V_CLI_CLIENTS>
<V_CLI_CLIENT>
<ORU_CODE>CLIENT1</ORU_CODE>
</V_CLI_CLIENT>
<V_CLI_CLIENT>
<ORU_CODE>CLIENT2</ORU_CODE>
</V_CLI_CLIENT>
</V_CLI_CLIENTS>
</Data>
</SynchronizationObjectsDocument>

Should split to two xml documents as below
--------------------------------------------------
Document 1:
--------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<SynchronizationObjectsDocument >
<ApplicationArea>
<DocId>dea9593b-4c60-4c1a-ab7f-004a4e336ac5</DocId>
<CreationDateTime>2004-05-13T21:31:48-04:00</CreationDateTime>
</ApplicationArea>
<Data>
<V_CLI_CLIENTS>
<V_CLI_CLIENT>
<ORU_CODE>CLIENT1</ORU_CODE>
</V_CLI_CLIENT>
</V_CLI_CLIENTS>
</Data>
</SynchronizationObjectsDocument>
--------------------
Document 2
--------------------
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<SynchronizationObjectsDocument >
<ApplicationArea>
<DocId>dea9593b-4c60-4c1a-ab7f-004a4e336ac5</DocId>
<CreationDateTime>2004-05-13T21:31:48-04:00</CreationDateTime>
</ApplicationArea>
<Data>
<V_CLI_CLIENTS>
<V_CLI_CLIENT>

Hi KB,

I do not like these classes because you have to write so much for them and
therfore maybe never used them, however with your problem it would be the
first one to look for (and most probably use them).

xmlReader (it reads node by node, attribute by attribute etc)

and than the XMLwriter

I hope this helps?
