The following conditions will cause the XMLImport method to generate run-time errors:

• The specified XML data contains syntax errors.
• The import process was cancelled because the specified data cannot fit into the worksheet.

Use the XmlImportXml(String, XmlMap, Object, Object) method of the Workbook object to import XML data that has been previously loaded into memory.
