Import Xml into excel: Invalid file reference/ Invalid characters (CData) -


i'm having problems importing xml-file excel.

the xml looks follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>       <documents>            <document>                 <name><![cdata[ file1-123 ]]></name>                 <title><![cdata[ title file 1 ]]></title>            </document>            ... more docs...            <document>                 <name><![cdata[ file2-456 ]]></name>                 <title><![cdata[ title file 2 ]]></title>           </document>       </documents> 

when importing excel 2007, following error:

  invalid file reference.the path file invalid or multiple schemes    not found. 

according claims of colleague error result of invalid charachaters in cdata. i'm having troubles believing him. characters know invalid:

{ < , > , ' , " , & }

yet characters claims causing errors are:

{ Â , ç , ° , ³ , ë }

example:<name><![cdata[ file1³-123³ ]]></name> 

but characters in cdata

question: how cdata interpreted excel during import?and characters cdata may not contain?

optional question: why webutility.htmlencode (this solved issue, not question) needed when outputting cdata (or xml in extend) asp.net website?

thanks time
