Common Pitfalls When Exporting Access to XML

XML separates elements from attributes, so the same value has two possible shapes - pick one and stay with it.
Characters such as ampersand, less-than and greater-than must be escaped, and one raw ampersand breaks the document.
Namespaces and prefixes have to be declared once, or the file will not validate.
OLE Object fields hold binary data with no text form, so export them separately or skip them.
Memo fields can contain line breaks that break simple parsers.
