here's the solutions... cloneNode

Parameters
deep
Boolean. A flag that indicates whether to recursively clone all nodes that are descendants of this node. If True, creates a clone of the complete tree below this node. If False, clones this node and its attributes only.
Return Value
An object. Returns the newly created clone node.

Example
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example clones a node, and then appends it as a child of the top-level node.

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument40
Dim root As IXMLDOMElement
Dim currNode As IXMLDOMNode
Dim MyNewNode As IXMLDOMNode
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.resolveExternals = False
xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml&quot
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
Dim myErr
Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
MsgBox(&quot;You have error &quot; & myErr.reason)
Else
Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
Set currNode = root.childNodes.Item(1)
Set MyNewNode = currNode.cloneNode(True)
root.appendChild MyNewNode
MsgBox xmlDoc.xml
End If
