XML support

What's new home

With the enhanced XML support in Microsoft Office Access 2003, you can specify a transform file when you import data from or export data to XML. The transform is then applied automatically. When you import XML data, the transform is applied to the data as soon as the data is imported, before any new table is created or an existing one is appended to. When you export data to XML, the transform is applied following the export operation.

Often times a database contains lookup values that are stored in another database. You can now include these related tables when exporting. You can also include any predefined filter or sort order for an object when exporting the object.
