Thanks for your information.  Below is the sample I used:

*** abc.xml ***

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<letters> 				
	<letter id="67152">
		<MarketTitle>Bus&person - Café</MarketTitle>
	</letter>				
</letters>

*** VB Code ***

    Dim xmltest As DOMDocument60

    Set xmltest = New DOMDocument60
    
    xmltest.Load "C:\abc.xml"

    xmltest.save "C:\output.xml"

I found out that "& a m p ;" remain as "& a m p ;", however "& # x e 9" 
converted to é.  The reason why I need to keep it as "& # x e 9" is that I 
have another application need this file as an Input, that application can 
only run correctly in "& # x e 9" form.  So is there anyway I can save the 
file without this conversion? Thanks.
