>I normally avoid using Reserved words. The below XML snippet was cut out of a much larger snippet. I am using Win2k SP2 VFP 7.0 SP1 as you are however I got everythinhg working even using reserved words. I am not sure what is going on on yourside.

Sorry - it was me. I have put an invalid character in the XML code when editing it. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
I made additional tests - if you have numerical fields with only values 0 or 1 VFP parser thinks them as they are logical!

Have found a possible workaround - check whether it is appropriate for your problem (the code is a little bit "dirty"):

CREATE CURSOR csSettings ( ;
Name C(25), ;
Value C(10), ;
Type C(1), ;
Width N(5), ;
Precision N(15) ;
)
Append Blank
Replace ;
name with "cntGetWorkDirectory", ;
value with "", type with "C", ;
width with 0, precision with 0
Append Blank
Replace ;
name with "cntGetWorkDirectory", ;
value with "", type with "C", ;
width with 0, precision with 0

CursorToXML(Alias(),'test', 2, 16, 0, "")
* the following strtran does the trick:
XMLToCursor(Strtran(Strtran(test, ["0"], ["0."]), ["1"], ["1."]), 'test')

The trick is to add an extra decimal point after the single 0s and 1s.
