>What is your expected result? When I run that in VFP7, I get "1.200". If it's being passed an invalid data field, do you really want it to make something up and hope it gets it right?

This is not invalid data, this is a legal character data!
I expect a character field to be created.
Doc says, that XMLTOCURSOR() uses two passes. So it MUST be able to
convert this to character field.

In real life, my XML string used in VFP 7 code contains a lot of fields.
I need the values of some fields only.
Since I do'nt use the tag value, XMLTOCURSOR() may take any conversions
in this case, but without error. I use some other fields from this conversion result which are converted properly.
