Thank you for your suggestion. I will try it.

>>How would you process an xml file in a report? For example, say a cursor has a field which stores an XML string of the following format:
>>
>>

>><Field>
>>	<Name>MyField1</Name>
>>	<OldValue>123</OldValue>
>>	<NewValue>3321</NewValue>
>></Field>
>><Field>
>>	<Name>MyField2</Name>
>>	<OldValue>ABC</OldValue>
>>	<NewValue>NBC</NewValue>
>></Field>
>>

>>
>>In the report I would like to show the above XML as:
>>
>>Field: MyField1 Before: 123 After: 3321
>>Field: MyField2 Before: ABC After: NBC
>>
>>Is the only way to accomplish this by using some UDF where on every row of the report a cursor is created from the XML and then parsed into a string and returned?
>>
>>Or is there a simpler approach? Btw, I am open to suggestions to change the format of XML or to use another type of string instead of XML.
