    Problems with importing XML files

    I have a problem importing XML files in Excel 2003. When I try to import several files at once, the importing goes fine, but then I cannot refresh the data. When I try to go to "Refresh XML Data" in the menu, that menu option is grayed out. Is there any way to work around that?

    Thanks!

    Hi chephy,

    welcome to the forum.

    can you describe the method you use for importing the xml and maybe post a small data sample?

    Re: Problems with importing XML files

    Well, basically I go to Data -> XML -> Import..., then browse to a folder in which I have multiple gpx files (xml-based files used to store location data, used with GPS units). Using Ctrl I select several of those files and click Import. They get imported fine. However, when I then go to Data -> XML, I see that Refresh XML Data is grayed out.

    I am not sure what you mean by data sample. It seems to me the data itself is not so interesting. But I can upload the worksheet and the gpx files, if you think that will help.
