I have a dashboard with a text box that a user can write in. When they click a button I want the text along with the dashboard id, user id and date/time to be sent to an xml file in an external location. Is this easy to do please? I had a look at the forums but got a bit lost! 
Thank you

It’s not particularly easy to do. But it is possible.
You will likely need to look at various ways to either export from Excel into XML (LiveOffice might help here) or set up a URL that will take parameters and save them to XML.
Unfortunately, both options are a bit large for me to try and detail here.

Thanks for getting back to me Lugh, we can’t use Live Office due to some compatability issue with our sw as we are using an old 3.1 version of the tools so I will have to investigate the XML route further. Thank you for your help

If you search back through this forum, I’m fairly sure there are code snippets for exporting to xml. I know I’ve posted code which allows data to be written to and from xml for real-time dashboard processing - it’s not much more of a step to write the file out somewhere.
