>I'm not 100% sure what your question is. When I pull that XML into a DataSet, I get 18 tables. DataSet.Tables[8].TableName is "Worksheet". And it looks like to me that each "node" (as you're calling them) has a related table that is the worksheet for that node? Does this spreadsheet have a WorkSheet for each of these nodes?

What I did was to create a DST agaisnt the excel file. It allows me to determine which tab I am dealing with. They all dump to working table where each line gets parsed but that is much easier when I call it in C#.
