I am making some progress I think.
I have used the microsoft tool xsd.exe against the sample xml file I have been sent and generated an xsd schema file. And then used the following code to generate tables from the xml file:

oXA = CREATEOBJECT("XmlAdapter")
oXA.xmlschemalocation = "c:\temp\sampleorder.xsd"
oXA.RespectNesting = .T.
oXA.LoadXML("C:\temp\sampleorder.xml",.T.)
FOR i=1 TO oXA.Tables.Count
	oXA.Tables(i).Tocursor()
ENDFOR
SET

But it is generating the error: "XML object does not have associated fields"

I am not entirely convinced the sampleorder.xml file I have is correctly formatted. I would be happy to email the file to anyone who thinks they can help if it would help track down the problem.

Any help greatly appreciated.
