Hi Antonio,

thanks a lot, I'll try it right now.

Best regards

Thomas,

Unless you're doing something strange down the process line, this should be straightforward:

LOCAL XML AS MSXML2.DOMDocument60

m.XML = CREATEOBJECT("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0")

m.XML.appendChild(m.XML.createProcessingInstruction("xml", 'version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"'))

m.XML.appendChild(m.XML.createElement("root"))

m.XML.childNodes(1).appendChild(m.XML.createTextNode("La Méditerranée et le Monde méditerranéen à l'époque de Philippe II"))

m.XML.save("holste.xml")

This will produce, verbatim (encoded as UTF-8)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>La Méditerranée et le Monde méditerranéen à l'époque de Philippe II</root>
