Thanks Bo,

It looks like that first example at the link. Here is the header without the tag symbols.

?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" standalone="yes"?
dataroot xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\_V7DATA\Shannon\TEST_INFO.xsd"

You gave me some good leads here. The XMLAdapter fails but the DomDocument object will import it. Much work and research.

Thanks again.
