The QTP script is: Const XMLDataFile = "C:\TestData.xml" Const XMLNewFile = "C:\TestData2.xml" Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") xmlDoc.Async = False xmlDoc.Load(XMLDataFile) ' update the title of the first book Set node = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/bookstore/book[0]/title") node.Text = "Romeo and Juliet - Salvation" ' save changes xmlDoc.Save(XMLNewFile)

And the result is:

Note: The numeration begins from zero. That's why I use book[0] to access first item. 2. How to change the year of second book? I skip the opening and saving of XML file (see above QTP script). I show only the essence: ' update the attribute of the second book Set node = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/bookstore/book[1]/title/@publishe d") node.Text = "2009" And the result is:
