I used Chilkat XML when working with XML, I have also used MS XML but find Chilkat better.

This code will create an SEPA XML file using the passed details in transaction and header recordsets.

I am reworking this into a sample Excel file for those who have a small volume of variable SEPA payments to create. This post will be updated with the sample when its tested.
