Hi,Can you tell me how to write this code if I only want certain fields from each table? I get errors when I try to select a few fields to insert into the temp table.
Thanks,
Sharon
PS thanks for posting this code, it was really helpful and I didn't see where anyone else posted code to combine two unrelated tables into one xml file.
I was able to change the select with no problem. All you have to do is change the columns for any of the select statements. What is the error you are getting?
