Unable to read the attributes of child nodes using XML DOM in Access 2003

Question

I have searched the web for perhaps 8 hours including Experts Exchange and Stackoverflow and have found others with the same issue but I\'ve not found a solution to this issue.

Answer 1

Always validate xml string when there is issue to parse it,

Verify Your XML Syntax

Copy your string to know if its error free.

Updated XML

Function ReadAttributes(ByVal strXML As String)

    Dim xmldoc As New DOMDocument
    Dim iNode As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode
    Dim iNode2 As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode
    Dim DonorNodeList As IXMLDOMNodeList
    Dim iAtt As IXMLDOMAttribute
    Dim iAtt2 As IXMLDOMAttribute

    On Error GoTo ReadAttributes_OnError

    xmldoc.async = False
    xmldoc.LoadXML strXML
    If xmldoc.parseError.ErrorCode <> 0 Then
        MsgBox "Invalid XML, Load Failed"
        GoTo ReadAttributes_OnError
    End If

    Set DonorNodeList = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName("Donor")

    For Each iNode In DonorNodeList
        For Each iAtt In iNode.Attributes
            MsgBox iAtt.Name & ": " & iAtt.nodeTypedValue
        Next


        Set iNode2 = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName("Donor")(0)

        For i = 0 To iNode2.ChildNodes.Length - 1
            For Each iAtt In iNode2.ChildNodes(i).ChildNodes(0).Attributes
                MsgBox iAtt.Name & ": " & iAtt.nodeTypedValue
            Next
        Next
    Next


    Exit Function

ReadAttributes_OnError:
    MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
    Exit Function
End Function
