### Adding tables to an XML connection

A table contains fields mapped to attributes, simple elements, contents of complex elements, and other nodes in XML files. Queries can be built on these tables and a report is developed from a query or something else which is functionally similar.

To add tables which are transformed from an XML file to an XML connection, follow the steps below:

1. Select the Tables node of the XML connection, right-click it and then on the shortcut menu, click Add Table. The Add Table dialog will then appear.
2. Choose the required tables in the Tables box, and then click Add.

   To choose consecutive tables, click the first table, press and hold down the SHIFT key, and then click the last table. To choose tables that are not consecutive, press and hold down CTRL, and then click each table.

3. After adding the required tables, click Done to close the dialog.

Note: If there are no tables displayed in the Add Table dialog, you can click the Load Table button to refresh this dialog.
