I use IE data binding from XML data island with data types.
The ONLY way to implement this seems to use dt:dt attribute.

However, FoxPro 7 XMLTOCURSOR() ignores data types. It converts string data to numeric. For wide fields, this causes error.

How to avoid error in the following code ?

How to create FoxPro cursor using xmltocursor() so that invoicenumber is numeric field ?

Remove spaces after < characters when trying to run the following code.

cXML = '< DocHead xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"> < row>< invoicenumber dt:dt="string">123456789012345678901< /invoicenumber>< /row>< /DocHead>'

* Result: 
* XML parse error: field width or number of decimal places is invalid.
* Is this bug or "behaviour by design"
xmltocursor( cXML )
