Default Reading through an XML file


Hi

I was wondering you can provide me with some help. As a non programmer
I'm pleased I've managed to
cobble together some code which reads in an XML file but I'm struggling
to look
at anything other than the first record (of many. Here is an example of
the xml of
which there can be up to 10 records......

<records type="array"
<record
<offer
<value type="decimal"7.6</value
<for type="decimal"1.16</for
</offer
<seller
<Number type="integer"24</Number
<is-valid type="boolean"false</is-valid
<nameSmith</name
<is-correct type="boolean"false</is-correct
</seller
</record
<record
<offer
<value type="decimal"2.03</value
<for type="decimal"1.163</for
</offer
<seller
<Number type="integer"184</Number
<is-valid type="boolean"false</is-valid
<nameJones</name
<is-correct type="boolean"true</is-correct
</seller
</record

What I want to do is to identify if the word, say, "Jones" appears in
any seller elements by reading through
the relevant records. It can appear in any or none of the "records".
Can anyone help?

Here is the relevant bits of my code (I hope!!!)

Dim oXML As Object
Dim oDom As Object
Dim strResponse As String
Dim strURL As String

On Error GoTo Handler
Set oXML = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

With oXML
Open "GET", strURL, False
'Needed to web service will recognize get/post
setRequestHeader "Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
send
End With

'get the results
strResponse = oXML.responseText

Set oDom = CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
oDom.LoadXML (strResponse)

' Check to see if there is an entry
If oDom.DocumentElement.nodeName = "nil-classes" Then
' nothing there interesting
mydata = 0
Else
' This sections adds detail to the spreadsheet where there is an
existing sale offer and provide details
mydata =
oDom.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("record/offer/for").Text
' SOMEWHERE / SOMEHOW HERE I NEED TO LOOP THROUGH THE XML
RECORDS BUT I CAN ONLY READ THE FIRST!
END IF


Many thanks for your help!!!!
