You need to read about MSXML parser. Here is a link to a good all-in-one example http://oreilly.com/pub/h/466

Some reading on XPath will help as well. You could get all the information you need in MSDN.

Stealing the code from Luke excellent reply for aggregation purposes:

Dim oXML, oNode, sKey, sValue

Set oXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DomDocument.6.0") 'creating the parser object
oXML.LoadXML(sXML) 'loading the XML from the string

For Each oNode In oXML.SelectNodes("/user_data/person_info/attribute")
  sKey = oNode.GetAttribute("name")
  sValue = oNode.Text
  Select Case sKey
    Case "execution_status"
    ... 'do something with the tag value
    Case else
    ... 'unknown tag
  End Select
Next

Set oXML = Nothing
