Getting startet: Importing/Parsing XML document

From: "Mads Westen" <mw@--------.-->

Hi,
I looking at a assignment where I have a XML document, which I need to parse 
and import data into a non SQL database from at VB syntax like program.

I need some hints on how to do things "best practices examples".
I'm using MSXML as parser and XPath.

I need to read each project into my db, with most of the under elements 
"CATEGORY_CODE" etc. The CATEGORIES needs to be read in some sort of FOR 
loop?

I have the XML loaded and MSXML set as parser, and also Xpath set as 
selectionlanguage, but where do I go from here? :)

Best regards
MW

Hereunder a example of the XML document.
