off-the-shelf xml tool for end-users?

Jason Shohet

Might be the wrong ng, but not sure where to go here :)
I am reading data from an xml 'database' -- basically an xml file containing
information on school classes that we created.
I don't want to maintain this xml document my whole life -- i want certain
power-users to maintain classes, the teachers who teach those classes, the
description of those classes etc.

I could program a c# utility to give them access to the nodes in the xml
file, but I would rather give them an off-the-shelf product, that could read
any xml 'database' and allow them to edit it without destroying the xml
tags!

TY for any advice

Somethings to consider are: xmlspy, xmetal. They all have trial versions
that you can download and test drive. I won't recommend one over the other
because you really should decide which one's the best for them. There's also
something called xml notepad that you can download from msdn for free.

Thanks.
XML Spy is waaaaaaaaay to complex for an end user that basically has
enough trouble figuring out Word & Excel. XML Spy is a development
tool more than a simplistic end user editing tool. I need something
thats super easy... Doe sthis XML Notepad fit the bill (I'll look into
it as well)
