XML - File format a little help please

[admin]

Hi,

I have a list of company details in excel and I would like to create an .xml file with this information in I have had a go of it from what I have learnt from the w3school website.

Can you have a look what I have done and give me some feedback.

This file will have several region codes and I could not see any other way to get the region tag uniquie without using an attribute for the tag to indentify each region.

I was told it is better to try and leave attributes alone is there another way of doing it.

Thanks

Bach.
