>>Thanks Paul. You are correct in assuming that the object is a byte[]. Your command worked except for one small issue. At the end of the string is some text that messes up the html. It is:

Paul, I probably didn't explain it very well. What is happening when I view the contents of the string in IE7 is at the bottom of the page, there is an error:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

When I view the source, I see what appears to be normal XML except at the very bottom is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

</div>

</form>

</html>Immediately before the text shown above is the normal looking XML. If I manually remove the text above, everything is fine. Can you think of a way to programatically eliminate the last chunk of text?
