hi,
Thanks for you article.What should i do if i want to create table from xml dynamically first and then insert data to that table ?

just write create table statement first in the stored procedure, create table and then write the insert into statement. This should work for you.

Go through by blog article Read Excel file from VB 6.0. Then after reading it use the data to convert it into xml tags and save it in the text file with the extension .xml. This should work for you.
