Hi Glenn,

I've not received table schema and data from you.
Any way, have you tried to map the field to binary XML type?
Here is the code that shows how to do this:

CLOSE DATABASES all
CLEAR
SET MEMOWIDTH TO 150

CREATE CURSOR foo (cb c(1) NOCPTRANS)
INSERT INTO foo VALUES (CHR(15))

LOCAL oXA as XMLAdapter, oXF as XMLField

oXA=CREATEOBJECT("XMLAdapter")
oXA.AddTableSchema("foo",.T.)

oXF=oXA.Tables(1).Fields(1)

oXF.XSDtype=""
oXF.IsBinary=.T.
oXF.DisableEncode=.F.

oXA.ToXML("cXml",,.F.)

?cXml

oXA=null
oXF=null

oXA=CREATEOBJECT("XMLAdapter")
oXA.LoadXML(cXml,.F.)

oXF=oXA.Tables(1).Fields(1)

oXF.DataType="C"
oXF.NoCpTrans= .T.
oXF.DisableEncode=.F.

oXA.Tables(1).ToCursor(.F.,"foo1")

SELECT foo1
DISPLAY STRUCTURE 
GO top
?ASC(cb)

return

Does it solve the problem?

Thanks,
Aleksey.
