Thanks Claudio...document size will be pretty small so I will probably go with Element-centric.

>>Am just starting on a small from our database (VFP) to a Notes database and I have suggested we use XML to move some info back and forth. I noticed that in the notes for CURSORTOXML() that it gives 3 basic options for the XML output (Element-centric [the default], Attribute-centric and Raw).

You´ll note that Attribute-centric will generate an output smaller than the Element-centric, so, you may choose for that one if you´re dealing with huge documents. But, if you need to extend the content of the document generated, may you´ll want to work with element-centric output.
