Jason,

Is there a way to import data from an existing base such as MS Excel or Access?

To keep BaseX small and compact, we have decided not to add any proprietary importers. However, reg. Excel, you can export data as XML; this way, you will be able to access additional meta data of the original source.

Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________
