Neither expression is not syntactically correct.
You need, assuming you have mapped the namespace URIs to the prefixes 
'soapenv' and 'ser' as per my earlier response):
Dim oLoginNode
Set oLoginNode = 
.responseXML.selectSingleNode("/*/soapenv:Body/ser:loginResponse/ser:loginReturn")
MsgBox oLoginNode.text

or for a more inefficient search:
Set oLoginNode = .responseXML.selectSingleNode("//ser:loginReturn")

If you are using the responseXML directly you should call:
.responseXML.setproperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"
before using selectSingleNode or selectNodes.
