Hi all, 
I ran the attached volcanoes.xml (with geology.dtd) in the Module of Access 
2003. 
I got the following error:  
                        Microsoft  Office Access 
             You have error Invalid Character in content model. 
                                            |OK| 

Please help and advise me what is wrong in my source code and how to correct 
the problem. 
Thanks in advance, 
SHC
