I was wondering if anyone out there has had any success with importing XML data into ELOG. Using the XML schema which I derive from the EXPORT data from ELOG into XML format or creating the file from scratch, I either blowup the system and have to restart elogd or it doesn't work and says, XML file doesn't contain ELOG_LIST element (which I create and it still doesn't work).

Basically, I am trying to take spreadsheet data, convert it into XML and upload it as a logbook so I don't have to perform lots of data entry. I also tried .CSV but have had no luck. 

Any thoughts or ideas? 

What happens if you just export as .CSV and then import that file again. Does that work?

If not, can you post your .CSV file here and I will have a look.
