Selecting Records with ASP/XML

I am new to XML and am still trying to get to grips with it, so apologies if this is a fairly fundamental question.

Basically I want to select a record from an XML document, dependent upon the querystring that is past e.g http://www.default.com?ID=COMPANY would bring back the records named COMPANY from the XML file.

At present I have an XML file structure like so.

<TOPICS TYPE="COMPANY">
<TOPIC><TITLE>Head Office</TITLE></TOPIC>
<TOPIC><TITLE>Registered Office</TITLE></TOPIC>
<TOPIC><TITLE>Sales/Office</TITLE></TOPIC>
<TOPIC><TITLE>Agents/Distributors</TITLE></TOPIC>
<TOPIC><TITLE>Bank Details</TITLE></TOPIC>
</TOPICS>

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

can we possibly rework how you have this all set up? This is a little wierd.

It would help to know what kind of language you use / intend to use to query your xml-files.

For example, I use XSL to transform (query) my XML-files, through an ASP-application. The ASP-page picks up the needed parameters from the url, loads an xml-file and an the xsl-stylesheet, and in doing so it passes on the parameters needed for the stylesheet to find the right elements in the xml-file. It's really simple - but, I'm not sure this is what you had in mind.
