Well, first based on my response I think you see how much of a novice I am.

And thanks for being patient with me.

Anyway, the little app I'm doing is just something for myself that I wanted to use and also help me in my learning how to program. Anyway you're correct what I really just want is to have my data saved in a format that I can easily import into Excel (not necessarily XML). In fact as you suggested a simple comma delimitated format. But that's only because I'm very familiar with Excel and can get the data from there to a text file or something.

But what I should have done was explain why and perhaps I'm going about the whole thing incorrectly. Basically I will have an array which will contain a significant number of records (hundreds) with each record containing a number of elements. And although my little app can add records one at a time I wanted to be able to load the hundreds of records (which I currently have in Excel (or could easily put into comma delimitated format). Once the data is loaded, then the user Actions of adding one record at a time will be fine.

So am I looking at this whole thing incorrectly? And should I be creating a new action that would invoke a readFromFile method or something along those lines. Again sorry if I sound like I don't know what I'm doing, but I don't.

;)

Thanks again for taking it easy on me.

Steve
