Newbie: XML as datasource

Hi everyone,
I have a Web Form with data fields. What I want to do is to save these
fields into an XML file (dynamically), then hook this XML (as a data source)
to a SQL Report so that I don't have to save these data into a SQL Server
database. Is it possible? If it is then can someone show me how.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.There is currently no support for accessing an XML data source. You either
have to write your own custom XML data source extension or look on the market
for an XML OLEDB provider. Or search MSDN for sample code that implements an
XML data source extension. My current understanding is that it will be
included with the SQL Server 2005 release of Reporting Services.

I used the "Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider"
1.) Create new Shared Data Source
General: "Provider=MSDAOSP.1;Data Source=MSXML2.DSOControl.2.6"
Credentials: "Use Windows Authentication (Integrated Security)"
2.) Create new Report using this Shared Data Source
Query: path to the xml-file "c:\temp\test.xml"
Kind Regards
Daniel
