I am having trouble retrieving an XML document from the web to be parsed in my VB program.

What I need to do is take raw data, simultaniously enter it to a database and URL encode it, if it's a unique record, make my program pull up the website and harvest the XML data and then dump into another database.

I have gotten the "read raw data" part done. I feel like I can dump it into a database from there w/ out much effort (inorder to make sure it's a unique record) But from there do I make the database deal with the XML or should I have my program do it???

Database=Access2002 and Im using VB.NET

Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Thanks in advance,

Geoff
