Update: Funny how things work in the world of technology. So I had really only been attempting one file for some reason (why I chose to do this, I can't be sure). And so yesterday when attempting the feat again, I decided to take a database that I knew wasn't overly complicated and try loading it (as it was one I had made myself, instead of acquired elsewhere). It loaded. As did the next, and then the next. All without any problems, until I came back around to the one giving me fits, and it continued to do so. The sad part for me is that I spent hours troubleshooting rather than just trying another file in the first place, haha.
At this point I think it is definitely a problem with that particular .xml file or the database I created it from. And if you're willing, I'd be glad to take you up on your offer Peter and have you take a look at the file. Appreciate you doing that for me.
