Ludo,

Maybe I misunderstood you: I have now chosen to use . unless the user
overrides that in the export FormatSettings.
Would this be satisfactory?

Also, I've written and uploaded a small VB.Net test program to see the
XML output .Net/ADO.NET creates/expects. The output is a bit different
than Access XP, but might be quite near newer version of Access.
I'm going to try and implement basic support for that.

Once I've finished that, I think it's done for now.

Thanks for the help,
Reinier
