Mike,
When I say run it I mean from the command line or a dos window whatever
you want to call it. At the prompt
C:\> cd placeWhereYouPutTheScript
C:\placeWhereYouPutTheScript> cscript accesstoxml.js
fullPathToAccess.mdb
This will create the file fullPathToAccess.xml
You can then transform it with an xslt processor and a stylesheet.
C:\> saxon fullPathToAccess.xml fullPathToStylesheet.xsl
Or
C:\> msxsl fullPathToAccess.xml fullPathToStylesheet.xsl
If this is the level of your expertise I wouldn't try the other parts of
this thread about <msxsl:script just yet.
Ciao Chris
