and this is i coded at module level

Public Function ReadRetailerSettingXML(ByVal strXMLPath As String, ByVal LoopID As Integer) As String
        Dim xmlRoot As MSXML.IXMLDOMElement
        Dim objDOMXML As New MSXML.DOMDocument
        Dim intNodesLength As Short
        Dim a As Integer = 0
        Dim stroutput As String = ""

        strXMLPath = RBMKioskPath

        objDOMXML.resolveExternals = True
        objDOMXML.validateOnParse = True
        objDOMXML.async = False
        Call objDOMXML.load(strXMLPath)
     
        xmlRoot = objDOMXML.documentElement
        If xmlRoot.baseName = "Configuration" Then
            If xmlRoot.childNodes.item(LoopID).hasChildNodes = True Then
                intNodesLength = xmlRoot.childNodes.item(LoopID).childNodes.length
                xmlRoot = xmlRoot.childNodes.item(LoopID).firstChild
             
                For a = 0 To intNodesLength - 1
                    If xmlRoot.attributes.item(0).text = "Knumber" Then
                        xmlKioskNo = xmlRoot.text
                                          End If

                    xmlRoot = xmlRoot.nextSibling
                Next a

                       End If
        End If
        objDOMXML.abort()
      
    End Function
