Hi All, I'm a forum newbie with no real Access experience so sorry if this has been covered. I am trying to create an ultra simple document management system for letters generated by a legacy system about to be replaced. I have created a table with 3 fields - letterSubject (number),letterDateTime & letterBody (long text). I have generated an XML file where the root element matches my table name and child elements match the column names; line breaks in letterBody are tagged <br/>. I have imported this into one long Word document but I need rapid access by subject and date range and some basic analytic capability. I imagined this would be straightforward to import into Access. I was wrong! With one-line letters and a short text body it behaves as I expected but with real letters and long text it won't play ball. Any ideas please? Thanks.
