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.
