Thanks Martin. That code worked. Now how would I pull the current value into 
a text box, and then change it and write it back from the data entered in the 
textbox?

For instance, I havae a form that has a TextBox for:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
DNS Name

The XML file would have default values that I would like populated in each 
textbox. Then if a change was required, one would just change the data in the 
textbox and then save the data back to the xml file.

I'm a bit new to programming, that's why I like Visual Studio, so forgive me 
if these questions seem a bit rudimentary.
