Hi,
(I'm new to XML)
I can export data from Access as an XML file (with schema integrated in
the XML file). I can read it into a DotNet DataSet, but the schema is
not correct that is - I do not get the right columns.
Is there some kinda trick to convert the XML to a
DotNet-DataSet-readbable file??
Thanks!

Why don't you just query Access directly from .NET?
Why go through the step of exporting to XML, then trying to read it in?
what are you really trying to accomplish?

You best best is to use ADO.NET to connect to Access rather than use its XML
file. In the future, this may be different, but the Access format is not the
same as the DataSet format of XML.
If you have to move from Access to DataSet, I would look at creating a XSLT
stylesheet and transforming to the DataSet XML using it. This is a much more
reuseable method of conversion. Not sure if anyone has already tackled this
monster, so I would do a search before writing it myself.

Hi Mojo,
In addition to the other messages, when you want to use your access direct,
you can of course connect direct.
But when you want to use it as an export file I think that if you cannot
read an XML as a dataset you can always convert it using the XMLreader or
the LoadXML (the document object model).
A dataset is not that difficult to make although as it sometimes look.
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim dt As New DataTable("Acti ve")
dt.Columns.Add( New DataColumn("Str ing", Type.GetType("S ystem.String")) )
dt.Columns.Add( New DataColumn("Ide nt", Type.GetType("S ystem.Int32")))
Dim keys(0) As DataColumn
keys(0) = dt.Columns("Ide nt")
dt.PrimaryKey = keys
ds.Tables.Add(d t)
I hope this helps?

Hi Dino,
I'm creating a program that will accept data from several sources
(Access, Excel and so on).
So I want to use common interface to accept these sources.
Therefor I need to be able to easily read the XML file from access.

Access and Excel can both be queried via ADO.NET - using connection strings,
if I am not mistaken. this will get you a dataset, without having to first
"export to XML".
What's the "and so on"?
ADO.NET can do CSV, SQL server, other databases... ?

I don't see the need for ADO here. Access, Excel, dBase, etc can all be queried directly from
ADO.NET (with the ODBC and OLEDB namespaces) using the same ODBC and OLEDB connections that are used
under ADO.

It is just me or has MS created some of the worst ways to access and display
data?
You can use a DataSet, but if you want to sort or filter the data to must
use a DataView which is created from a DataSet.
But, if you sort by using the Grid (clicking the header) you can no longer
use the DataSet (or maybe the DataView, if that is what you are using) to
locate the record that the user has selected!!

Hello,
I have data in an Access table that I would like to export to multiple
HTML tables. I would like to split the data in the Access table
(about 92,000 records) into multiple HTML tables/files to reduce
download time and bandwidth usage on my web server. That way, the
user can select a particular page to download instead of downloading a
page with all of the records.
I would like to set a limit of only 500 records per file.
