i've asked this several times without reply. hopefully someone out
there has a brain enough to answer me.

i'm running *Microsoft Office 2003 Small Business Edition* on a system
with *Microsoft XP Home Edition*. I have a book entitled
_Mastering_Excel_2003_Programming_with_VBA_ that i'm learning how to
create Smart Documents with. This book says (and shows) that there
should be a menu item in my "*Data*" menu in Excel that is called
"*XML*", and also a TaskPane item called "*XML Source*" or "*Document
Actions*."

Can anyone tell my why none of those things are anywhere to be found in
my Office suite?

PLEASE help.
stephen

Have a look at this website for comparing editions.

It would seem that XML support is not provided unless you purchase the
Professional edition.

If this doesn't help, keep bumping, but perhaps in vain.

Your "has a brain enough" comment will not endear you to many.

In addition....

ToolsCustomizeCommandsData. Scroll down and check to see if the XML
commands are available for dragging to your toolbar or to the Data Menu item.

I am running Excel 2003 Pro edition so have all the XML functionality.
