Barbara,

I was aware that FPW26 was not going to give me ´state of the art´ possibilities :-)
Considering the fact that the dbf2xml function written by Ken Levy was easily converted from VFP to FPW26 I had hoped that it could also be done for xml2dbf. Considering the fact that xml is only ascii I had hoped that someone had done this....

I guess I will need to dive into this myself and to create some functionality to do this natively in FPW26.

Thanks,

Ron

>Unfortunately, the best tools for reading XML aren't going to work for you in 2.X. XML is only text, and you can read it in FPW2.6. You'll have to create a cursor with a field to hold the XML, then APPEND FROM XMLFile SDF to get it into your cursor. From there, you can load it into a memory variable (if it's not too long) and use functions like AT(), RAT() and SUBSTR() to pull it apart.

>>I need to implement XML functionality in FPW26. To do this I have taken a closer look into the dbf2xml and xml2dbf programs written by Ken Levy. I have made some changes in the dbf2xml program to get it to work in FPW26 and it seems to work fine. Now, however, I also need to implement the xml2dbf in FPW26. This nifty little program, however, uses the oXML=NEWOBJECT("MSXML") object which can't be used in FPW26. I know there must be zillions of ways to do this but I need this in FPW26. Is there anybody that can help be out in this?
