Can anyone get me started on a project I'm working on? The Online docs aren't helping me much.

My project is to write a visual basic app that will take any XML file (no XSLT or CSS) find a record, clone the record, change the id attribute and add it to the doc as additional node.

example
.....................................
....
- <car id=&quot;0&quot;>
<col id=&quot;Manufacturor&quot;>Ford</col>
<col id=&quot;color&quot;>Blue</col>
</car>
....
......................................
Needs to become
......................................
....
- <car id=&quot;0&quot;>
<col id=&quot;Manufacturor&quot;>Ford</col>
<col id=&quot;color&quot;>Blue</col>
</car>
- <car id=&quot;1&quot;>
<col id=&quot;Manufacturor&quot;>Ford</col>
<col id=&quot;color&quot;>Blue</col>
</car>
....
......................................

Please, Please, Please, Can someone show me some sample code that could do something like this? I am new to XML and .NET so I don't have much of a frame of reference to work from. I have been working with DOM, XMLNodeElements,XMLAttributes, and XMLNodes but all of the object/element/attribute references are kicking my arse.

I have tried to eat my mouse twice! Please end this newb's suffering .

Thanks for any and all help

Best advice for you old boy is to try a different forum, you want VB advice, not VBA.
