Batch Import XML to Access – 2 Common Use Cases

Handle bulk XML imports with our specialized wizards – same simple process for all bulk operations:

Use Case 1: Multiple XML Files → Multiple Access Tables (N Files → N Tables)

Ideal for organizing related XML files into their own tables (e.g., countries.xml → countries table):

  1. Connect to Access, click Wizard → N Files To N Tables
  2. Select folder with XML files (filter *.xml, recursive folders supported)
  3. Auto-configure first XML file's structure (applies to all files)
  4. Map each XML file to corresponding Access table (auto-mapping for matching names) 📷
  5. Preview settings and select load type (Replace/Append)
  6. Bulk import – all files to their tables in one go 📷

Use Case 2: Multiple XML Files → Single Access Table (N Files → 1 Table)

Perfect for combining identical XML datasets into one table (e.g., 1.xml, 2.xml → employees table):

  1. Connect to Access, click Wizard → N Files To 1 Table
  2. Select folder with XML files (supports >4GB, recursive folders)
  3. Configure first XML file's structure (auto-applies to all)
  4. Select single target Access table and map fields (auto-mapping)
  5. Preview combined data and adjust settings
  6. Bulk import – merge all XML data into one table 📷

Update & Upsert Access Data from XML

Sync XML data with Access – no manual SQL queries required:

Update Access from XML

Overwrite existing Access rows with fresh XML data (match by unique key):

  1. Follow 1 File → 1 Table wizard (or bulk wizard)
  2. In Load Type, select Update and choose key column 📷
  3. Map XML fields to Access table fields
  4. Preview updated data and click convert

Upsert XML to Access (Insert + Update)

Insert new rows, update existing rows (match by key) – the ultimate sync mode:

  1. Follow standard import wizard
  2. In Load Type, select Upsert and choose unique key column 📷
  3. Map fields and preview data
  4. Click convert – auto-handles inserts and updates in one step

Automate & Schedule XML to Access Imports

Turn repetitive import tasks into automated, scheduled jobs (Windows/Linux/macOS):

Step 1: Save Your Import Session

  1. Complete XML to Access import/upsert/update in GUI
  2. Click Save Session to store all settings (paths, mapping, load type)

Step 2: Generate a Script for CLI

  1. Export saved session to .bat (Windows) or .sh (Linux/macOS) script 📷
  2. Run script via command line – no GUI required

Step 3: Schedule Recurring Tasks

Why automate? Eliminate manual work, ensure real-time sync, run imports in background.
