I didn't study the xml you showed, but it looked really simple. I recommend that you open the xml in the explorer, it's often helpful. I also recommend googling for XML VALIDATOR if you wonder whether the xml is valid or not.

>Having never used the xmladapter yet, I am not sure yet whether it will let me construct this, even with new functionality in vfp9. In the few examples I've seen, when there is nesting, the data for a higher level table appears at the top, and then the nested table data appears. But in this example, I think that code-a,code-b,sold-by, and billing-flag are at the baseinfo level, yet they don't appear 'at the top', they appear between order customers and order details. Having little experience with it, I'm not sure whether that is allowable/valid xml, and even if allowable, 'conventional'. But from what I've seen so far of the xmladapter, I don't see that it could generate xml that looks like this. So I think that in this case you might be right. But, I'm not sure of the experience of the person who gave me the file, so I first want to establish that this is indeed correct xml.
