Hi,
I am looking for some help regarding the code below. In the first snippet, I am creating an XML file based on a database recordset. This works great.

but!

On the second snippet I am trying to create a OWC graph based on the newly created XML file.
It works fine on the first selection, but on any subsequent selection the refresh rate is poor and it doesn't always pick up the new xml file even though it is created.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Clarkie


1st Snippet of code
dim xmlDoc, root1, p,child1, child2, child3, x

set xmlDoc = server.createobject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
set root1 = xmlDoc.createElement("Scenario")
xmlDoc.appendchild root1

for each x in rs.fields
set child1 = xmlDoc.createElement("Name")
set child2 = xmlDoc.createElement("Value")
set child3 = xmlDoc.createElement("Year")

child1.text=mySelection
child2.text=cdbl(x.value)
child3.text=x.name

root1.appendchild child1
child1.appendchild child2
child1.appendchild child3
next

set p = xmlDoc.CreateProcessingInstruction("xml","version='1.0'")
xmlDoc.insertbefore p,xmlDoc.childnodes(0)

xmlDoc.Save server.mappath("myxmls/usrscenario.xml")

rs.close

conn.close
