Dim xmlDoc
Dim root
Dim newNode
Dim currNode

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
MsgBox root.xml

Set newNode = xmlDoc.createNode (1, "VIDEOS", "")
Set currNode = root.insertBefore(newNode, root.lastChild)
MsgBox root.xml
