>Anybody know of any white papers on XML?

microsoft.com/xml
xml.org
vbxml.com
BizTalk.org
DataChannel.com

BTW, the XML forum here is extremely quiet. If you have a question regarding VFP and XML, you might have better luck posting in the VFP section. If your question is pure XML, I would try UseNet. There are several very active newsgroups. I hate to say it, but I think the VFP community has been a little slow embracing XML.
