What are these fields (or parameters or attributes or characteristics)

[Enrico Pallazo]

I have been reading a lot of web pages and news group postings, and I
just can't find what I am looking for, so I decided to try here. Sorry
if this is not the place to post, please redirect me if necessary.

Environment: VBA behind MS Excel in a validated environment (I can't
use third party DLLs, so please don't recommend them), with a reference
to Microsoft XML, v6.0 (msxml.dll)

Given the following XML:
<AAAA>
<BBB BBB_Id="123" BBB_Ref="abc123">
<CC>SomeData_C</CC>
<DD>SomeData_D</DD>
</BBB>
</AAAA>

I can get the names and types of the nodes AAAA, BBB, CC and DD but I
can only get the value (or text) of CC and DD.
What is the name of the parameter (or attribute or field or
characteristic) of
the additional data in BBB (ie BBB_Id and BBB_Ref)?

Thanks for any help or direction you can give,

Jacob

I got it...
they are the Attributes of a node.
I don't know why I didn't get them to work before.
Thanks anyway
