VBScript Converting XML Data to an ADODB RecordSet - vbscript

Question

I have a situation in which I need to dump XML into an ADODB Recordset in VBScript. My XML is in the form below. What I would like to do in my code is convert the XML into a recordset with AddressObject rows. The code below I tried but keep running into one DomDocument error after another. Can anyone please help me with a solution for this? I tried the code below in Notepad++ but still unable to get the right result.

Ado cannot handle an xml recordset. I think you need to use the old XML parser to get the data out. You could throw it into a db and then use ado to manipulate the data once its in a database.
Classic asp makes it very hard to work with Soap web services. I would strongly suggest coding this portion of your application in ASP.net ..
