Don,
In your code you missed the flag 512 (source is file flag) but anyway it wouldn't work. That XML is incompatible with XMLToCursor. XMLToCursor expects an XML with this structure:

< data_table >
   < row >
        < field >< /field >
        < field >< /field >
   < /row >
< /data_table >

This is illustrative, fields can be attributes instead of tags but general layout is that you need a root ( data_table the table IOW ), rows and fields. You can use XMLAdapter instead or MSXML2.DomDocument parsing. Another alternative would be to do some processing of the XML with StrExtract() and make it XMLToCursor() compatible in parts.
