Hi Larry,

I'm just starting to use xml documents generated in Oracle SPs. I then turn them into vfp cursors using WWC's xml to cursor package. The vfp side is only a couple of commands. I'm going to try the vfp7.0 xml to cursor functions this week.

For the moment, I'm hand coding the Oracle SP that produces the xml document. There are a number of Oracle packages that produce xml documents. I'm working with the Oracle dba to get one of these packages working. That should cut down on the typing on the Oracle side.

I don't know if you could apply xml to a client/server application.
