Ok per my perior discussion I am reading in information from an XML document and displying it inside a text field through a Window.Form application. Now what I would like to be able to do is edit these text fields and save it to the XML file. Attached is the code that I have so far.

Answer : XML File Edit

Hi; seahna;

I rewrote the program file and you should be able just to copy and past the whole file and try it. You will need to put the XML file in the bin/debug directory of the project folder and needs to be called Config.xml or you will need to change the name in the program to match what you have at three locations.I ran this on my system and it worked without any problem.
