>Are there any good straight code examples of using the XMLAdapter to create tables from XML. I've managed to do a .LoadXML but I'm really not sure what I need to do next to turn what has been loaded into a table or even how to navigate it.

The XMLAdapter will create XMLtables for you if XML you loaded has schema. You can conver them to cursors

oXA.LoadXML(...)
FOR i=1 TO oXA.Tables.Count
	oXA.Tables(i).Tocursor()
ENDFOR
