I have tried using the CA builder with XML created via CursorToXml but also with no success.

Am I correct in believeing that the "SelectCmd" property contains the name of the XML file?
If not where do I specify it?

What I need to do is be able to load this XML into a cursor for display purposes only. This XML data is in the memo field of a VFP table, so as I skip through the records, I would like to "reload" the adapter with the new data from the XML information. This will all be read only so updating will not be necessary. I do not particularly want to go the XMLTOCURSOR route if possible as I think a "CursorRefresh" would be more efficient. I would also like to specify the cursor schema to be V(10) for both of those fields. TIA!
