Hi Hugh,

I guess I misunderstood you. I thought that you have XML schema but separate from XML file.
You're correct that XMLAdapter will create XMLTables only if XML schema is provided.

From what I gather from the help file, when I load an XML file into the form I should see a list of tables and their contained fields -but apparently I only get the table list when I first include a schema.
