Have you read page 472 in Chapter 11?  The author goes on with the example 
to say that the method is not so easy after all.

I got around this with the following code:
Calling page:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:BD96C556-65A3-11D0-983A-00C04FC29E33" ID="dsoXYZ" 
HEIGHT=0 WIDTH=0>
    <PARAM NAME="URL"  VALUE="Sample2.asp">
</OBJECT>
...
DataPage.asp:
<%
    dim rs
    dim objStream

    Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
    rs.Save objStream, adPersistXML
    Response.Write objStream.ReadText
...
%>
