Just worked out how to do it -

Set ochildNode = objXML.getElementsByTagName("C")
For i = 0 To LoopCount
If Not ochildNode.item(i) Is Nothing Then
Set xmlAttribsNode = ochildNode.item(i)

blah = xmlAttribsNode.getAttribute("SZ")
End If
Next

There's a loop in there as there are (potentially) several 'C' nodes
that I need to access.

Really very easy now I've found it, what a frustrating load of old
balls.

Cheers
