Hi,
I am trying to read an XML File which contains French text from my VB6 codes, It doesn't work, although it works perfectly with XML File with English characters.
I use MSXML2.DOMDocument object and use method .Load(filename.xml)
but cannot load the file if XML contains french characters.

Would somebody help me please.

Thanks
M.A.

Sounds like the file has been created incorrectly, the actual encoding does not match the stated encoding. Do you know how it was created? Can you open it in IE?

I saved the file as unicode in notepad. and can open it in IE.

In your first post you said you used load(filename.xml), this won't work with any file, you need loadXML. Can you show the actual code you use?

Private m_xmlDoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument

Private Sub LoadTranslationFile(xLanguage As String)

    Dim sFile As String
    Set m_xmlDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument

    Select Case xLanguage
        Case "English"
            sFile = m_sRoot & "\Languages\English.xml"
        Case "French"
            sFile = m_sRoot & "\Languages\French.xml"
    End Select

    If m_xmlDoc.Load(sFile) = False Then

        Exit Sub
    End If

end sub

Should work, if you like you can email the file to check, I have joefawcett as my hotmail address.
