'Illegal xml character' during import

S

Sean McCain

Hello,

I am receiving the error 'Illegal xml character' while using
GetExternalData/Import. I have successfully imported a different XML source
into the database with essentially the same data. The file that fails is
half a gig in size.

I am using Access 2003

Has anyone else received this error? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Sean

No - I have not got that error.
But it sounds like there is something wrong with the data.

Will it display in IE?

Can you validate it externally?

Can you break the file up and import pieces until you find the bad part?
