Are we talking Delphi 2005? I guess so, but you need to be clear on this as it is completely different to previous versions, being a .NET language. Although I don't use it, it should share 99% of the functionality with the other .NET languages. In this case the DataSet class should have a LoadXml() method which does exaxtly what you need. However, your XML document will need to be formed differently - most importantly is the embedded schema which defines the record structure and datatypes. There are oodles of resources on the web which explain the layout better than I can. Displaying it on the grid is a simple matter of binding the DataSet to the grid control. BTW you don't need to use a component for the XML document. Just declare and load it inside your function then set it to nil when you're finished.
