Karin,

a supplier started sending me XML files and I couldn't read them as I
use XL2000. However, with OpenOffice also installed on my PC, I could
use that to open the XML files and then save them as XLS.

Hope this helps.

Professional edition supports XML.

Do you have something else like Student edition?

ToolsCustomizeCommandsData.

Scroll down to bottom and you will find some XML commands which you drag up
to Data menu or place on a New Toolbar.

I went to the Excel help, which told me the same thing. *However, my Data

Thank you.
