objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNodeList.item(index)

Dim xmlDoc
Dim objNodeList

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
Set objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("AUTHOR")
For i = 0 To (objNodeList.length -1)
  MsgBox (objNodeList.item(i).text)
Next
