hi, thx for your answers. after several tests i think i will have to do this.:laugh:

Hi, i'm trying to load an xml document from C++ with: MSXML::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pXMLDocument (__uuidof (MSXML:OMDocument)); // main document parsed hr = pXMLDocument->loadXML (BSTRTemp); /* trying parse string, if success, we have doc object*/ this method uses offensive memory. i have xml files that are about 100MB size. i feel the function does not clear the memory. anyone an idea? if i load 3 times the same file, my memory is full. :confused: suggestion? is there a free method or something? thank you, lutz
