i am getting data from a database using VB and then parsing it onto an XML sheet. I find that i'm not able to put a string with number/space/any special characters as the first character for a node.
Is there any way to escape this rule in XML? Please help

Hi,

The best is to put it into the value of an attribute or an element, it's the way xml work after all.
