URL tags doesn't work with semicolons. For the second link magnetica sent, subsitute spaces before and after "en-us" with semicolon.

Google gives plenty of articles on importing xml files too...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22xml+file%22+%22sql+server%22

And you can use "if exists ... update ... else ... insert ..." type syntax to do the other bit.

Solutions are easy. Understanding the problem, now, that's the hard part.

Oh OK. I will remember that for next time.
