Hi kelly,
You can try:

Sub XML_Support_Available()
Const Msg1$ = "XML feature is"
Const Msg2$ = "available in this Excel version !"
MsgBox Msg1 & xmlSupport & Msg2, 64
End Sub

Private Function xmlSupport() As String
xmlSupport = IIf(Application.ArbitraryXMLSupportAvailable, " ", " not ")
End Function
