Excel ListObject XPath error "...syntax is not correct or is not supported by Excel"

I am having a problem with an Excel ListObject in my C# .NET
application. I am trying to map an XML schema to a ListObject, and
continue to get the error "The XPath is not valid because either the
XPath syntax is incorrect or not supported by Excel." No matter what
crazy things I try, I can not either get it to work, or get a
different, more interesting error message. :-)

I have created my ListObject, and added a schema to my XmlMaps.

The xml which is created by the schema looks something like
--------------------------
<Document xmlns:msxsl="ur n:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespace SchemaLocation= "H:\CurrentProj ects\RPM\WuPM\U ntitled4.xsd">
<Row Time="2001-12-17T09:30:47-05:00">
<Id.c72103dc-fba1-4743-a58e-ac53a6181058 Days_On_Stream= "3.14159"/>
<Id.bc6c92f0-cc6f-43ea-9d9a-ce94072e4348
Reactor_1_Inlet _Temperature="3 .14159"/>
....
</Row>
</Document>
--------------------------
Then I have a statement resembling
ListObject.List Columns[n].XPath.SetValue (myXmlMap, xpath_string,
null, true)
It seems that no matter what I pass as xpath_string, it is rejected.
I've tried
/Document/Row/Id.c72103dc-fba1-4743-a58e-ac53a6181058
//Id.c72103dc-fba1-4743-a58e-ac53a6181058
/Document//Id.c72103dc-fba1-4743-a58e-ac53a6181058
/Document//@Days_On_Stream
/Document/Row/Id.c72103dc-fba1-4743-a58e-ac53a6181058/@Days_On_Stream
//*@Days_On_Strea m
and what feels like an endless combination of others. The only success
I've had is with the Time attribute, where this path
/Document/Row/@Time
works.

I'm not having a lot of luck finding resources on the web that help me
identify what I'm doing wrong. Anybody have any advice?!

Thanks
Jacque

I have created an Excel spreadsheet for the web. When it opens in IE 6.0 I get the message that the format is not supported. This is because it is in tab delimited format. Ane when I save the file, It saves it as txt. How can this file be created so that Excel sees it as an .xls format. I created the data in VB 6.0 with a vbtab to seperate the columns. Hope this is enough information. Thanks for the help,

I am having a problem getting a pointer to an existing running Excel process on a client machine. Here are some details: 1) I have tested out the code on the development machine and it works fine.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
