Frank, 
 
The IE5 production parser has a couple of new methods on XMLDomDocument: 
 
   validateOnParse 
 
and 
 
   resolveExternals 
 
The doc claims that resolveExternals is "true" by default 
but maybe it's worth a try to explicitly set it to "true"...

When I create an object with the new dll i.e.

myDoc=server.createObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

My object fails to recognize external DTD's!

this is so with ASP, (I reinstalled the old dll on my server), and with C
and VB programs that use the dll.

I havn't seen whether it is a problem with an activex object in a web page
yet.

This is a bug with the new DLL it worked fine with the beta2.DLL
