John, I'll have to dig into my code library but generally you convert the XML to a dataset and then you can write the dataset to a SQL table.

I use this ATM to log my import process. When I am done I have a log file per file imported. I will eventually be switching to a direct write to a data table but for now I need to know if I can import these log files into a table. The XML produced by the code looks like the following (actual file written): <?xml version="1.0"?> <clsLogData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <pTblName>AK</pTblName> <pStatus>Complete</pStatus> <pCommittedID>205453</pCommittedID> <pFileSpec>\\Stonehenge\psm\Data\FirstAmerican\TaxRolls\AK.txt</pFileSpec> <pStartTime>2007-10-03T12:55:49.890375-04:00</pStartTime> <pStopTime>2007-10-03T12:57:15.49325-04:00</pStopTime> <pStartID>0</pStartID> <pStopID>205453</pStopID> <pMemo>90071218 : 10/3/2007 12:55:49 PM : Read Directory: TaxRolls 90071234 : 10/3/2007 12:55:49 PM : Loading CSVReader10/3/2007 12:55:49 PM 90071234 : 10/3/2007 12:55:49 PM : Read File: \\Stonehenge\psm\Data\FirstAmerican\TaxRolls\AK.txt 90071250 : 10/3/2007 12:55:49 PM : File Loaded: \\Stonehenge\psm\Data\FirstAmerican\TaxRolls\AK.txt 90071296 : 10/3/2007 12:55:49 PM : Bulk Copy: tblTaxRolls 90116640 : 10/3/2007 12:56:35 PM : Bulk Copy Finished: tblTaxRolls 90116656 : 10/3/2007 12:56:35 PM : RECORDS READ: 205453 90116656 : 10/3/2007 12:56:35 PM : RECORDS BULK COPIED: 205453 10/3/2007 12:56:35 PM : Copy Temp table AK_X to the permanent table tblTaxRolls 10/3/2007 12:57:15 PM : Temp table copied AK_X to the permanent table tblTaxRolls 10/3/2007 12:57:15 PM : DROPPED Temp table AK_X 90156765 : 10/3/2007 12:57:15 PM : Move to Archive: \\Stonehenge\psm\Data\FirstAmerican\TaxRolls\Archive\AK.txt</pMemo> </clsLogData> Can SQL Server just read these files?
