According to the help, this should work, but I found that if I make the directory containing the xml file the current directory, and do not include the path with the file name, then it works fine. I should point out that this is happening at work on a Win2k OS. I haven't had time to test it at home on my XP machine.

Alan,

Maybe it cannot fine your external schema? Try inline schema

CURSORTOXML('cl_claim','mcout\claims.xml',1,526,0, '1')
