So based on the above xml, I would have to create a Shipment table as a Parent with fields like ShipmentIdentifier. Then I would have to create an Event table with the ShipmentID as a foreign key and fields like Source, Code. Basically a field for each node.

1. Can I just create a database by creating the file: "<db name here>.accdb"?
2. Once that is done, is it simply as easy as executing the "CREATE TABLE" command to populate the database with tables and columns?
3. These queries return an error:
vb Dim query As New OleDbCommand("CREATE TABLE xp (Name Text, Author Text, Version Text, Data Memo, Engine Text, Website Text, Call Text, SDK Text, Type Text, Demo Text);", cn) Dim query2 As New OleDbCommand("CREATE TABLE vx (Name Text, Author Text, Version Text, Data Memo, Engine Text, Website Text, Call Text, SDK Text, Type Text, Demo Text);", cn)

With VB.net, I'm coding a simple application to get more used to the new .Net format.
I'd like to save all the information to a 'new' database file. how to create a database on the fly, once that is done i'll be able to connect to it no problem, but actually creating the file is proving difficult to work/find out.
Also, with vb.net and the newly created custom file, how can it be made to automatically open that information with the program?
Is there a method in installation to associate the file type with the new program? How can i check when the program loads if a database file has been 'double-clicked' (rather than just running from the .exe of the program) and proceed to load the data?
EDIT1 - Extra InfoThe windows application has many different fields and content etc, then i need to save that to a file that could later be loaded by 'double clicking'. I assumed the easiest way would be to create a mini-database for each unique file
I would like to generate an Excel file using a database query in VB.Net. How can I do it? To be more precise: I would like to "bind" a query (much like binding a query to a GridView) to an Excel file such that the rows in the table occupy corresponding cells in a new Excel file, and save the file to my computer. And then, mail that file to someone. While I can handle the mailing part, it's the creation of such a file that I need help with. Anyone know how to achieve what I want to achieve? PS: I need to do this in VB.Net and I'm using SQL Server 2008.
