Creating Crystal Report from XML file

[mwhalen]

Hi there. I'm having trouble understanding the concept of importing an XML file. I understand it's not really an import. If my friend exports a report to XML, sends me the XML file - then if I create a data source to that XML file, do I still have to create the report all over again? I guess I was expecting to see a formatted report if I just created a datasource pointing to that XML file.

I can seem to find any clarification on this and would appreciate the feedback. Thank you!
