If I manually edit the XML to substitute "&" with "and" things are fine. I know that I need to encode & with '%26' or '&' (or simply change it to "and"). Is there any property/method of the XMLADAPTER to automatically do this?

Hi Mike,

Could you provide a simple example with code?
The following code works without any problems:

clear
set memowidth to 120
create CURSOR test(f1 c(10))
insert into test values (REPLICATE("&",5))

local oXA as XMLAdapter
oXA=CREATEOBJECT("XMLAdapter")
oXA.XMLSchemaLocation=""
oXA.AddTableSchema("test")

oXA.ToXML("cXML")
?cXML

oXA.LoadXML(cXML)
oXA.Tables(1).ToCursor(.F.,"test2")

select test2
?ALIAS()
list

Thanks,
Aleksey.
