Thanks so much, Craig - I hadn't dug that far back in the parameters. It works great!

>>I have a table that is being sent via cursortoxml and then back using xmltocursor. All works well unless I have just one record with a field that is character type, but has a number in it. When that happens, the cursor created is inferred to be numeric. It's hard to predict when this will happen without having a data dictionary to compare to. As a result if I try to copy from the cursor to my destination table, I get data type mismatches.
