>Does anyone know how to convert a XML hierarchical data set to VFP native tables / cursors ? I visited www.classx.com, and there is a XML converter to VFP but it does not have hierarchical support.

You have found the only public domain tool I know of. If you decide to write one for yourself, send a copy my way, I would like to see it. :-)

>BTW : I'm from Brazil, and we are in a big crisis. Most of this crisis are attributed to many types of rumors. The same thing are happening with VFP ! My loved country and primary tool of work... I'm being crazy !

Those rumors about VFP are completely unjustified espacially now with the PR effort MS has put into VFP's future.
