how to set a DataSet to read XML

[MosheS Singer]

The following sample will help to understand the problem I am having.

I want to use an XML file in a combo drop down "C1.Win.C1List.C1Combo"

Dim myXMLfile As String = "C:\Users\" & UserName() & "\AppData\Roaming\MyCompanyName\ASerchBy.xml"

DSMnSrcBy.ReadXml(myXMLfile)

With Me.SearchBy
.Refresh()
.DataSource = DSMnSrcBy.Tables("APrSearcBy")
.Splits(0).DisplayColumns("num").Visible = 0

I got a message "DataField or Caption not found" referring to "Columns("num")"

The following code is a copy of the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
