Hi Rick,

thanks für the explanation.

****************

UTF-8 is the default encoding format for XML, so it doesn't need to be there. Guessing it gets stripped as it is the default. You should only need to provide an encoding if you use something **other than UTF8** (like 1252 that FoxPro does when not specified).
