Import XML with Attributes

Can someone point me to how to do this? I have an application that is willing
to export a report in either xml or tab-delimited. I'm thinkin' XML-it-is!
Then, I realize the application puts out xml with attributes like column
names and types. It appears Access 2003 ignores them and does a very poor
import job. What should I do?
 
Given that you have to store this in a table, tidy up the table with
the correct data types and append the XML file into that. I like to
add the correct primary key so I don;t double load records and turn
number fields from text to numbers. You can also get fancy and use the
msxml object which gives you fantastic control over the xml.
