I found some documentation on MSDN that talks about how data is loaded depending on whether it has attributes, child elements, etc, which supports what you said about attributes being stored as columns in their own right, but I still cannot find anything that states how/what to call an element (that has attributes) other than by its name (which just isn't working). There is a 'special' data field called $text that represents a whole record, when I reference that from within the HTML bound table, it brings back the data for my element (which has an attribute) which seems to indicate that the XML document is loading correctly without errors. I just cannot find any examples that shows a bound element (that has an attribute) being referenced.
