Thanks for the tip. I was able to save the file as an XML Spreadsheet and view it.

Then I found a neat little VBA code that would convert a spreadsheet into XML. And that was kinda neat.

Even later I found out that the SQL tool on our AS400 will actually export a query straight to XML format. Woohoo! :-)

Welcome to the forum Sam.

I think the easiest way to get started is to create a list in Excel and then save it as XML.

Then open the XML file in Notepad and you can see a basic structure.

There are lots of sites about XML on ei think is good it the www.w3schools.com they have lots of tutorials on XML

Sample XML File?

Hi Gang,

I'm just learning InfoPath and I'm a complete newb with XML. I want to attach an XML datasource to populate a drop down menu. Well, my first question is... what should such a file look like? I have no idea what an XML datasource file should look like.

If someone could post a sample file, that would probably get me started right quick.

Thanks!
