I wonder, before you came to this solution or since then, have you looked at using the Microsoft XML object library? I feel like that might be a lot smoother and more scalable. I'll be checking it out myself when I have the time.

I'd be interested to know what variables were renamed its sometimes hard to see a different perspective when coding but i like to be flexible. On the microsoft xml object library i did consider it but i was attempting to avoid using object libraries that aren't the default because i dont like hard coding a library to load as it may be outdated eventually. but if you do manage to get the XML code working i'd love to see it.
