An XML doesn't have to by created by CURSORTOXML() to be usable for XmlToCursor(). The XMLAdapter class is a possibility too. I don't know why you would want to use CursorAdapter class for that but it uses either XmlToCursor() or the XMLAdapter class internaly anyway.

>>The XmlToCursor() is designed to import XML created by CURSORTOXML() or close to it. You first to have to make sure that XmlToCursor() can handle that file at all.
