Hi Pamela and Matthias,

1) XMLAdapter uses MSXML4 (not MSXML3).
2) VFP help says the following:

Using the XMLAdapter class, you can perform the following tasks: 

Interpret the following schema formats when you use the XMLAdapter LoadXML and Attach methods.: 
W3C XML Schemas (XS), W3C XML Schemas (XS) as used with .NET DataSets and SQL-XML 
Microsoft XML Data Reduced Schema (XDR) as implemented by SQL-XML 
ADO Recordset Schemas 

But it is possible to describe schema manually by populating XMLAdapter.Tables collection.

3) XMLAdapter emits XML only in .NET DataSet format.

Thanks,
Aleksey.
