Are you using VB.NET and the framework XML library or VB (Classic) and the M
SXML DOM?  I don't recall seeing the hasAttribute()
method on any MSXML interfaces and the only reference I can see to it in the
 MSDN is on XmlElement objects within the System.Xml
namespace.
If this is the case then you'll need to re-post to a .NET group such as those listed he
re: Http://EDais.mvps.org/DotNet/ if not then
post more of your code, in particular the declaration of "items1", how it's 
populated and which version of the XML library you are
using.
Hope this helps,
