Hi Grahame,

I've heard of this app before! The .xml file that the app is wanting to display the data needs to go into the "web" sub-directory in C:\Cumulus and then needs to be put into one of the fields on the Files tab in Internet Settings in Cumulus. Then, you need to click "Browse..." and find the file and then, put it in the local filenames field. Then put in remote filenames filed the same file name as the local filenames field but without the "C:\Cumulus..." etc.

The .xml file then should be on your site. Then simply go to the app and type in "http://YOUR_SITE_NAME/(filename).xml

Hope this helps...

If you need anymore help, then please reply.

Thanks

Will

Hi Graham,

Don't worry. The .xml file is listed on the app so you can download it into your C:\Cumulus\web directory.

I need some more info from you to help you onto the next stage.

Hope this helps...

Will
