Well rather than patch up the code to escape ampersands and the other "dodgy" 
characters (<, ', ") you can just open an adodb.recordset and save directly to 
an xml file, recordset.save(<filename>, 1). It's not a completely 
straightforward representation but I've successfully transformed it to many 
other formats. I have generic transform somewhere that turns it into an HTML 
table for example and if you decide to take this route and would like the file 
let me know.
