>= XMLTOCURSOR(cFileName, "TmpXMLCursor", 512)

>Presumably XMLTOCURSOR makes use of a particular one of the XML services DLLs that may exist side-by-side in the WinSys folder - MSXML.DLL, MSXML2.DLL, MSXML3.DLL, MSXML4.DLL etc. I wonder if it is possible to force the use of the most recent one?? Would direct calls to a MSXML2.DOMDocument (+ wrapper code) be a safer way to go??

I would say those are two different issues.
