thnx Torre,Sergey and David for your help. Thnx David for giving me more specific information about the parameters. This was a great help. I have only on problem left. When i try to reimport the xml back in vfp with xmltocursor i get an error like : xml parse error and a dutch error message like 'invalid on the highest level of the document'

the xml went to the ipac and back without changing anything to it.

Does somebody has a clue ?
