Hey,Why would you use XML over a database? When it really can only handle a little bit of data anyway. And when all hosting companies, even the small ones these days will give you Ms Access for free, which is just plain easy!I am currently the personnel developer and maintainer of 17 websites based in Australia, the UK, Switzerland and France and have never needed to use XML, even Flash will interface with a database!The question is, why do we need XML?Cheers,Mike Clarke
