Run the Application (XML Extractor)

Once you have created all of the sample files and set up your Visual Basic project, follow these instructions to run the application.

To run the application

1. Save the project.

   Note   Be sure to have created the three sample files in the same folder where you have created the XML Extractor application.

2. From the Visual Basic toolbar, click Start.
3. From the Medical bills (XML Extractor) sample application, click Start.
4. In the Invoice form, do either of the following:
   • Click Next invoice to create and preview the next invoice file.
   • Click Break and exit to return to the main application form.

If the application is successful, the Invoice form displays the following results when first viewed.

You might also want to verify that HTML-based invoice files are being created and named for each invoice by number. For example, if you view the folder where you created and are running the XML Extractor application in Windows Explorer, you should see files being added to the folder as you walk through the invoices using the application. These files should following the naming pattern invoicexx.html, where xx is the current invoice number for the invoice you are previewing. For example, if you preview the second invoice you should see the file invoice27.html added to the folder, in addition to the invoice265.html file created when the application first runs.
