Hi Aleksey,

thank you for using your time to help. I just try to understand which is the best tactic to follow when we want to import xml docs into tables. I still cannot understand the rationale that vfp uses thru xmltables and xmlfields to interpret xml doc. Is it possible to describe every xml format via xmltables and xmlfields as maybe you can do via schema ? Is it possible to make a generic import class that will interpret any xml and assigning default datatypes ? Take the following xml which describes a table with its keys and some values. What rationale should i use to crate the table and import the data on the fly ?
My question is : is there any rule of thumb, a method apart of lerning how to create schemas ?
