i want to figure out on how to export access 2003 tables to XML files with a
basic format like bellow:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Class>
<student name="Blondie Bush">
<id>1</id>
<height>172 cm</height>
<weight>55 kg</weight>
<hobby>playing guitar</hobby>
<quote>life to the fullest</quote>
<image>images/blondie.jpg</image>
</student>
</Class>

I'm exporting one of the table and the xml output as showing below;-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata">
<Class>
<student>
<id>1</id>
<height>172 cm</height>
<weight>55 kg</weight>
<hobby>playing guitar</hobby>
<quote>life to the fullest</quote>
<image>images/blondie.jpg</image>
</student>
</Class>
</dataroot>

as you might notice there is a differences between the two xml files. how to
get rid the <dataroot> and how to make it export the <student name="Blondie
Bush"> format instead of <student>?
my xml structure is strict becource it will be parsed into flash
application. so it would be compulsory to comply with those given xml
structure (i cant change/modify on how flash parsed xml). so the only option
is to make access export into the very similar structure. i dunno much about
access 2003 and am still learning..plese help!!

Many thanks in advance
 
It sounds as if you've got an "automatic" XML producer in Access, and an
"automatic" reader in flash, so you need something inbetween to make the
transform.
XSLT?
