Sorry about this, but this is turning out to be a nightmare for what I deem 
to be a simple task. I have the following XML 

<Books>
   <Book>
      <Subject></Subject>
   </Book>
</Books>

I'm trying to insert a "Author" element above "Subject" but I keep on 
getting the follow error message:
"Insert position Node must be a Child of the Node to insert under."

My code is as follows
<<
Set loSubject = loDocument.selectSingleNode("Books/Book/Subject")
Set loNode = loDocument.createNode(NODE_ELEMENT, "Author", "NS")
loNode.Text = "My Author"

Call loDocument.documentElement.insertBefore(loNode, loSubject)
>>

Any thoughts/views.

TIA
Dwight
