Help!!!!  I  have a catalog of products in an XML file.  I need to be able to
display this catalog, one item at a time on the screen.  I have been able to
create an XML connector, dataset, datagrid test, but it isn't anything like I
need.  Can anyone take a quick look at the XML and give me some clues?  My
issue is that there can be several child elements for each catalog item and I
need to display either  a list or grid with each one.  Of course I also need
some method of navigating between records also.
Any help would be  greatly appreciated!!!!
