VB

Imports System.Xml

Function ReadErrors()
Dim reader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader("Errors.xml")
Do While (reader.Read())
Select Case reader.NodeType
Case XmlNodeType.Element 'start element ignore it
Case XmlNodeType.Text
return (reader.Value) 'this is the value that you want
Case XmlNodeType.EndElement 'end of element ignore it
End Select
Loop

Zachary,
play with this code to get what you need, but I think this is your answer.
