You can use code similar to the following to load the file into a DOMDocument
dim oXml
set oXml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
oXml.load server.mappath("..\Whatever.asp")
Once you have the document, you can access the various elements and attributes using the XPath queries. (I am assuming you have a root element that encloses the rest of your xml)
Set oNode = oXml.selectSingleNode("//CLIENT/EMPLOYER")
response.write oNode.Attributes.getNamedItem("name").Text
I hope this helps you get started...
