This does not look like a valid XML file. A proper XML document should always have everything enclosed in tags, with one single root element that wraps the whole file. Every tag should open and close properly, and values should be between those tags.

For example, instead of what you showed:

Code

id123456/id  
statusIN_PROGRESS/status
Copy

It should look like this:

Code

<AircraftRequest>  
  <id>123456</id>  
  <status>IN_PROGRESS</status>  
</AircraftRequest>
Copy

If you need to include blocks of HTML or other non-XML text, those should usually be wrapped in CDATA sections, like this:

Code

<hazardous><![CDATA[  
  <table>  
    ... your raw HTML table here ...  
  </table>  
]]></hazardous>
Copy

So the main problems with your file are:

* Tags are missing < > brackets.
* Elements are not nested correctly.
* You may have raw HTML mixed in, which is not valid XML unless wrapped in CDATA.
* There is no single root element at the top of the file.

Until the structure is corrected, Access (or any XML parser) will throw errors.

Unless, of course, this is just because of how you're posting it on the website. The sample that you sent me in email looks just like what you posted. So maybe post a screenshot of what the top of it looks like with some data. That might give me a clearer picture of what you've got there.
