Thanks - it's imported, and most importantly, exported successfully . Of course it has to be in the original folder to display all images correctly.

I must say it took a lot of poking around the DVX help to find my way through creating a filter.

In my case, the appropriate DTD file was not supplied in an obvious place with the XML, so I opened the XML file in IEX and viewed the source code. Near the start is a "DOCTYPE" line which gave the name of the DTD document, which I then searched for on my PC using the windows search function and ticking all the boxes to search everywhere. ▲ Collapse
