I am trying to create vba script for outlook that will parse the message (which is received as an html table) and create an xml file based on the values in certain 's in the table.
Can you please point me to where should I start?
Also can you please advice or refer me to resources/tutorials regarding those issues?
Please consider that I have no vba experience, just some basic C#
Thanks TC

Bearing in mind that well-formed HTML essentially is XML, I'd try to look at some questions on SO that have already been asked regarding parsing XML, for example this.
Your just looking inside the table for tr then inside those for td...
