How to import XML child structures to Access

C

I have the following schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.my-Company.com/keygen"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="Keygen">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>A listing of options and the various views and modules
that they contain</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Option" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="OptionNumber" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="OptionName" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="View" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xs:element name="Module" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

and the following data:

<Keygen xmlns="http://www.my-Company.com/keygen"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.my-Company.com/keygen
Keygen2.xsd">
<Option>
<OptionNumber>1</OptionNumber>
<OptionName>One</OptionName>
<View>View 1</View>
<View>View 2</View>
</Option>
<Option>
<OptionNumber>2</OptionNumber>
<OptionName>Two</OptionName>
<View>View 3</View>
<View>View 4</View>
<View>View 5</View>
<Module>Module 1</Module>
<Module>Module 2</Module>
</Option>
</Keygen>

If I import this into Access (2003) it creates two records - ignoring the
child structure. If I import it into Excel (2003) it creates 8. In production
I will have more records that excel can handle.

Any suggestions as to how to get Access to recognise this child structure?

When Importing you have the option to Transform the XML.
I have seen it done once but am no XML expert so...
