Sid,

To follow up on what Bonnie has said, when I did some web services that passed data as XML from VFP, I used the additional parameters of the CURSORTOXML() to make your call look like this:

CursorToXML("CsrAllSkus", "cTestxml", 1, 8, 0, "1")

The key there (I think) is the last parameter which puts the schema inline.

HTH,
Chad

I haven't done anything lately with XML from VFP, but I seem to remember a potential problem with CursorToXML (but I don't remember anything else about it ... it was a few years ago and my memory ain't what it used to be. <g>)
