inserting XML into msSQL

Hello everyone,
I have a large file about 75,000 records each with about 3 elements and 1
variable.
I need to know how to insert this entire file into an existing table, or new
table or anything as long as it is moved from the XML to the msSQL.
I read into OPENXML and all that in books online, but im having a large
amount of difficulty, seeing as i need to have the data directly in the
query.. is there a way to reference a file or something..
Thanks.
The SQL Server Web Services ToolKit has a nice SQLXML BulkInsert provider
that you may find helpful.

|||the problem with inserting that data into the query, is there is more
than 8000 characters in the entire thing, it would take ages to go and
select 8000 at a time. I need something like navicat that works a little
more solid. navicat seems like it is skipping fields... its all a big
pain in my XXX. hah.
if anyone can help. please do..
