%>

Response.asp (in the server)

HTML

<%
xml_request = Request.QueryString("xml_request")

Set xd= Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
xd.async = False
xd.loadXML(Xml_Request)

FileNo = xd.getElementsByTagName("XmlRequest").item(0).getElementsByTagName("FileNo").item(0).text

Since you can't use Response.Write (why though?) - why not save your file to a public location on the server (or a secured one) then send back the URL to that file (and any necessary security information) through hidden fields in your form (I assume you have one in your requested page somewhere?) and then have the requesting code read the form information and request the XML file separately. Finally, you can have an extra page it calls that tells your server to delete the file. (Though why your requesting code couldn't just load the wanted XML file in the first place since you appear to be trying to get a file number and get the correct file I have no idea... :S )

Hope this helps,
Ed

Wrong - saving your file, then getting another request (for which the response will be done with equivalent of Respon.seWrite) means that actually you've wasted a lot of server space, time and bandwidth - you have not solved your problem. The best solution would be for you to just request the original file in the first place, though there are situations where this isn't possible. In which case you should just set Response.ContentType to text/xml and then write back the XML file. However, if you insist upon not doing this, have an input tag inside your requested page's form - call it something like "XMLFileURL" and then set its value to the url of your temporary XML file.

i try like below in the response.asp
FileNo = xd.getElementsByTagName("XmlRequest").item(0).getElementsByTagName("FileNo").item(0).text

Dim doc
Set doc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0")
doc.async = False
If doc.load(Server.MapPath(FileNo&".xml")) Then
Response.buffer = true
doc.Save Response

Else

response.write " handle error in 123.xml here"

End If

But it take time to load
