Currently i'm using <node>.dataType method to extract the data type. But strangely this only either ''string'' or ''null''. So it will regard image, date/time and rich XHTML as ''null'' data type. Does anyone know how to grab the precise data type of a control?

hihihi yeah it works now. super duper thanks for this...saved me a lot of trouble, really! :D

Hi Agni, thanks for the reply.

oh yeah forgot to mention, i realised i need to use: XDocument.View.ExecuteAction(''xCollection::insert'', ''<table_name>''); but where/when to specify the field values to be inserted?

Currently i'm using another method that is more convinient for me.. http://www.infopathfaq.com/development.asp?postid=710 So, it's working with ActiveXObject(''WScript.network'') object instead.
