Further to this the same error occurs if I try to use the recordset to get 
the same information 

    Set myRecordset = New ADODB.Recordset 
    myRecordset.Open "C:\Temp\cust.xml", "Provider=MSPersist", 
adOpenUnspecified, adLockUnspecified, adCmdFile 
    Set TableSchema = 
myRecordset.ActiveConnection.OpenSchema(adSchemaTables) 

Note that in both case I am able to read the data from the recordset I am 
just not able to get the schema information. 

Any assistance in resolving this is appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Dominic
