Hi p45cal,
Thank you for your post. I made the changes you posted and the error disappeared which is good news. However, the four XML test files contained inside the C:\XML_Source_Files folder did not change. The XML block remains in the same place and is not relocated next to the <content tag. Can you or anyone in this forum viewing this thread please suggest any other ideas so the VBA correctly relocates the XML block. Thank you in advance for any help.
