Hi Richard, I unsuccessfully tried to import your news feed (https://599cd.com/blog/rss/default.asp) as demonstrated in lesson 1. I always get the "illegal name character" error message. Could it be that in your "alive & well" article from 2023-01-07 an ampersand is not correctly used in the xml item description field? Kind regards, Jeff

I'm also seeing the same XML error using Access 365.
Yep. You're right. There shouldn't be & in the titles or descriptions. I filter it in the title, but not the description. I manually removed them for now. It's on my list to update in the future.
