Max, at this point figuring out your issue is more in your hands than in 
mine (or anyone elses). Please try following some of the troubleshooting 
steps I outlined in my previous post and see how far you can get trying to 
discover and resolve your issue. As I suggested, check to see whether the 
resource identified by "sourceName" parameter can indeed be loaded by 
MSXML4. Also try loading it with MSXML3. Chances are the resource is 
protected from whatever security context the page is running under.
