Then your main DataSet has that property set. Where do you get that one from?

>>The only way I can get that syntax to show up in the written XML file is if it was specified that way in the DataSet prior to doing a .WriteXml(). The only way I could figure out how to specify it in the DataSet was to create the DataSet with .ReadXml() from XML that already has that syntax in it. There may be some DataSet, DataTable or DataColumn property that specifies this, but I don't know if there is. So, then it all boils down to how are you populating this DataSet to begin with?
