Question:	I am using MSXML DOM to load an XML document; and XPath expression to locate an element. The expression makes use of contains XPath function. For some reason, this does not work and I get "Run-time error '-2147467259(800004005) Unknown method". I am using MSXML 3.0.

Answer:	The default query that is used is XSLPattern for backward compatibility. To use XPath, change the SelectionLanguage internal property of DOMDocument to XPath, before calling selectNodes or selectSingleNode. `xmlDOMObject.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"` See following links for some more details: HOWTO: Use XPath Queries in MSXML DOM selectNodes Method HOWTO: Use the contains() XPath Function When You Are Programming the MSXML DOM PRB: Using XPath to Query Against a User-Defined Default Namespace INFO: Use XPath to Perform a Case-Insensitive Search with MSXML HOWTO: Use the starts-with() XPath Function
