How to create sample .xml files

[Denniso6]

Hi all...,

I'm experimenting with populating a drop-down box with 'filtered' data base
on a selection of another drop-down box. Most of the posts I've read call for
the use of an .xml file as a data source.

Question: How would I go about creating a sample .xml file to use a data
source ? Can or should this be done in Excel, Word, Notepad..., etc ?

thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hello

You can create a xml file by using notepad and save it as .xml.
But it should be a well defined Xml, the posts you might have read meant
that if you had data in the form of XMl and if you wanted that data to be
populated into the Infopath form, then you will connect this XMl form and
show this data in the Infopath form.
