What encoding are you using?<br />
In lieu of encoding='UTF-8' try encoding='ISO-8859-1'
</div>


<div>
I'm not really sure what encoding I'm using. &nbsp;How can I tell? &nbsp;I'm assuming there is a property that I need to set in the object that I'm using to output the XML file.
</div>


<div>
Open the Xml file with Notepad and look at first line.<br />
It should be something like:<br />
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;<br />
<br />

output spanish characters using IXMLDOMAttribute

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
