Can you show us exactly in what way you use MSXML then that problems 
occurs? Are you using DOM or XSLT? Show us the relevant code, relevant 
XML input and output.
I am guessing that you have for instance
   <data>0.123456</data>
in some XML input but you need to show what you do then with MSXML when 
you say "saves it as 12345".
