I admit up front, I don't have a lot of experience with XML. I have an XML file I generated by CursorToXML(), which went fine, but when I take the same file and try to convert it back to a cursor I get this parsing error.

XMLTOCURSOR([c:\crap\statemnt.xml],[mystmt],512)

XML Parse error: An invalid character was found in text content.
 Line 40199, Position 42.   		<desc>NW/4 SECTION 20, BLOCK 44, T-1N,
*right here shows an unprintable char**  T & P, RR CO SURVEY, ECTOR COUNTY, TEXAS                           

I did not encase memo fields in CDATA sections, though I may want to do that. I believe I need to pre-process memo fields to clean them up before creating XML. What I want to know is what characters doesn't the parser like? I doubt tabs, and CRLF's cause any problem for it. I guess I could STRTRAN() the memo field's of anything CHR(1) - CHR(31), but I'd like to only do the minimal needed modifications.

Any help is always appreciated.
