[AccessD] Access 2002 Export to XML using DTD's

A DTD only validates it doesn't transform,
You could use XMLSPY to convert your DTD to an XML Schema
Then use that to produce an XSLT (XSL file) to transform output from the 
XMLDom
This last step is an unknown to me in the product otherwise you will 
have to produce your own XSLT file
no mean feat, if not fully familiar with XSLT. I know you can create 
classes from schemas but only Java and C##.
What you are looking for is a schema mapping method.


You can get a 30 day trial of full edition or there is a limited home 
edition (need license key)
