I have a stmt below in my code which works fine.

Set sel = xmlDoc.selectNodes("//T3/Layer[@ID='AL']")

The problem is that 'AL' needs to be some variable like

Set sel = xmlDoc.selectNodes("//T3/Layer[@ID=lcState]")

Obviously it doesn't like it when I do that. I searched few different web sites to see how I can do that but I haven't seen any examples. I tried many different ways but was unsuccessful. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks.
 
does

Set sel = xmlDoc.selectNodes("//T3/Layer[@ID=" & lcState & "]")

work, where lcState='AL'

just a guess, ive never used this syntax before!!

good luck!

Good guess... I had to make the variable lcState to have quotes but it works now. Thanks.
