Importing XML into Access with an XSL transform



I've seen a few other answers for similar answers, but I can't quite wrap my head around it. I have an attribute centric XML file that I need to import into Access, which will only accept element centric formatting. It seems like I need to do a transform with an XSL file, but I'm not clear how to do it. Since the data is proprietary, I've disguised it with a sci fi theme. What I need to do is turn the first code example into the same format as the second one:



<PLANETARY Protocol="Solar 1">
<COLONIES>
<COLONYDATA site="10001" planet="Mars">
<RESOURCEDATA resource="RadiationDanger" value="Low" />
<RESOURCEDATA resource="ApplicantColonists" value="11" />
<RESOURCEDATA resource="AcceptedColonists" value="3" />
</COLONYDATA>
<COLONYDATA site="10002" planet="Mars">
<RESOURCEDATA resource="RadiationDanger" value="Low" />
<RESOURCEDATA resource="ApplicantColonists" value="7" />
<RESOURCEDATA resource="AcceptedColonists" value="1" />
</COLONYDATA>
<COLONYDATA site="11019" planet="Titan">
<RESOURCEDATA resource="RadiationDanger" value="Low" />
<RESOURCEDATA resource="ApplicantColonists" value="22" />
<RESOURCEDATA resource="AcceptedColonists" value="16" />
</COLONYDATA>
</COLONIES>
</PLANETARY>


<Protocol>
Solar1
<COLONIES>
<COLONYDATA>
<site>10001</site>
<planet>Mars</planet>
<RadiationDanger>Low</RadiationDanger>
<ApplicantColonists>11</ApplicantColonists>
<AcceptedColonists>3</AcceptedColonists>
</COLONYDATA>
<COLONYDATA>
<site>10002</site>
<planet>Mars</planet>
<RadiationDanger>Low</RadiationDanger>
<ApplicantColonists>7</ApplicantColonists>
<AcceptedColonists>1</AcceptedColonists>
</COLONYDATA>
<COLONYDATA>
<site>11019</site>
<planet>Titan</planet>
<RadiationDanger>Low</RadiationDanger>
<ApplicantColonists>22</ApplicantColonists>
<AcceptedColonists>16</AcceptedColonists>
</COLONYDATA>
</COLONIES>
</Protocol>


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
