Thanks for the reply. I want to edit the data that is stored in the XML. So perhaps the easiest way would be to convert the XML using XMLTOCURSOR(), then use the resulting cursor to dynamically build the form, then when the form is saved convert it back to XML with CURSORTOXML(). Or perhaps I could use the schema to decide how to build the form, because it has the data types and lengths, then just use the XMLTOCURSOR to bind the data to the control sources. Do you know if there is anything out there in VFP that will take an XML schema and create a form to edit the associated XML? Hopefully I'm being clear here. Seems like it would be so useful that it's probably been done and I don't want to revent the wheel.

Thanks for all your help.

Greg
