I tried several combinations and I can't. This XML is created from another development environment, and the way it is created, can't be handled by VFP's XMLTOCURSOR(). Unless someone comes up with a magic solution, you will have to use the DOM object() for that such as:

* Return a specific XML node value
* expC1 XML content
* expC2 Node localization
FUNCTION GetXMLValue
PARAMETERS tcXML,tcNode
LOCAL lcValue,loXML,loNode
lcValue=''
loXML=CREATEOBJECT('MSXML.DOMDocument')
loXML.LoadXML(tcXML)
loNode=loXML.SelectSingleNode(tcNode)
lcValue=loNode.GetAttribute('Value')
RETURN lcValue

so to parse it manually and create the cursor by yourself.
