Allen:
The thing about XML is that you are free to format it as you wish. There is not defined structure to use it as an mdb database.
You can have either different child names like this, used in a straight way as ini.
Code:
  

- <korg>

- <shawn>

  <number>119</number> 

  </shawn>

- <jose>

  <number>1772</number> 

  </jose>

- <jooel>

  <number>2087</number> 

  </jooel>

  </korg>


Or you can have same childs widh are defined by different attributes. Like this.
Code:
  

- <Albums>

- <Album ref="CD142" category="Folk">

  <title>Boil The Breakfast Early</title> 

  <artist>The Chieftains</artist> 

  </Album>

- <Album ref="CD720" category="Pop">

  <title>Come On Over</title> 

  <artist>Shania Twain</artist> 

  </Album>

- <Album ref="CD024" category="Country">

  <title>Red Dirt Girl</title> 

  <artist>Emmylou Harris</artist> 

  </Album>

  </Albums>


In wich case ref="CD142" is an attribute for that particular album.

This is what I have seen by now about XLM I think none of us is expert we are just getting into knowing it.
