>From the client's side, they always get the following error: loElm is not an object. Of course, this error appears because of the case mismatch in the field name. According to the programmer in the client side, this is the error generated by selectSinglenode when it doesn't find the field, and that's why i checked on loElm type before using it. Any ideas why this happens?

selectSingleNode returns a .NULL. in case the query produces no results. I believe the error message, issued in the lcCountry assignment instruction, is misleading: it should say something like 'loElm is a NULL object' (since its type is O). Your checking code should be

  if !isnull(loElm)
    lcCountry = loElm.text
  else
    ComReturnError('myclass', 'cannot find country node')
  endif
