Thanks for the idea. I took a look in the VFP8 help on VFPXMLProgId, and it looks like rolling my own CursorToXML function is nontrivial. I would think that if I rolled my own thing in VFP, after n days of creating such a thing from scratch, it would still be slower than the C++ stuff that the VFP team made. If the source code was included, and I could make a couple of tweaks in VC++ 7 (I have VS.NET), that would be cool. But the whole thing seems a bit over my head....

It seems kind of odd that the CursorToXML creators would assume I'd always want their concept of a full document with declarations and etc.
