VB6 - Looping thru XML elements into rs using MSXML2.DOMDocum ent40

[pds79]

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie to the forum.

I have an issue and was hoping to get some assistance/ideas:

Im trying to read a XML file into two record sets.
I can acheive looping through the first level element but i can not loop the the second level (child elements), any ideas??
I need to be able to loop thru each patient record and read into rsPatMeals and secondly loop thru each <meal_selecte d> and read into rsMeals.
---- xml file---

    <PATIENT>        
        <ur>ppp</ur>        
        <area>Wards</area>

          rsPatMeals.Update
  Next objPatientNode

Does anyone have any ideas on how i can loop thru all <meal_selecte d> for each <patient> and assign to the rsMeals ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The FOR loop should look like:

For Each objPatientNode In objPatNodesList
  rsPatMeals.AddNew
  rsPatMeals.Fields("UR") = objPatientNode.selectSingleNode("ur").nodeTypedValue
  rsPatMeals.Fields("AREA") = objPatientNode.selectSingleNode("area").nodeTypedValue
  rsPatMeals.Update
Next objPatientNode
