Hi, This method performs your required operation. Validate for null values in the below code and you can use it as it is. Here the sName parameter takes the ID name node. private void UpdateXML(String sName ) { XmlDocument xmld = new XmlDocument(); xmld.Load("..\WeeklyReport.xml"); XmlElement xmle = xmld.DocumentElement; XmlNode xmln = xmle.SelectSingleNode("/WeeklyReport/Name[@ID='"+sName+"']"); XmlNode xmln2 = xmln.ChildNodes.Item(0); XmlNode xmln3 = xmln2.CloneNode( true ); xmln3.SelectSingleNode("/TodaysDate").InnerText = System.DateTime.Now.Date.ToShortDateString(); xmln3.SelectSingleNode("/Assigned").InnerText = "True"; xmln3.SelectSingleNode("/Worked").InnerText = "True"; xmln3.SelectSingleNode("/ResolvedwithinSLA").InnerText = "True"; xmln3.SelectSingleNode("/Resolved").InnerText = "True"; xmln3.SelectSingleNode("/NotRelatedToAccess").InnerText = "True"; xmln.AppendChild(xmln3); xmld.Save("..\WeeklyReport.xml"); } Hope this helps.

Hi, Try something along these lines System.Xml.XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument(); xmlDoc.Load(sXMLPath); XmlNode xmlTopNode = xmlDoc.DocumentElement; xmlElem = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Date"); xmlTopNode.AppendChild(NewElement(xmlElem (Cant remember syntax) )); It should get you on your way if nothing else.
