Persisting XML Directly into DOM Causes Run-Time Error '438'

With Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.1 and later, the ADO Recordset object supports the feature to persist an ADO recordset in XML format to a file on the disk by using the Save method of the ADO Recordset object. This data can then be loaded into the Microsoft XML Document Object Model (DOM) from the persisted file.
