Jim,
You can't get it except from the .xml property. So you need something
like
var b = xml.selectSingleNode("/Customer/@NumberOfPurchases").xml;
var z = b.substring(b.indexOf("=\"")+2, b.lastIndexOf("\""));
Or rather the vb equivalent
Dim b:b = xml.selectSingleNode("/Customer/@NumberOfPurchases").xml
Dim z:z = Mid(b, InStr(1, b, "=""")+2, InStrRev(b, """")-(InStr(1, b,
"=""")+2))
