Perhaps it's just me being somewhat "old fashioned" but I prefer flat format files and find them a lot easier to work with. Mind you, part of that may be that I'm used to using unix text tools for working with files - and they just don't work with XML. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
