Hi Fred,

I downloaded MSFT's SP4 install for these files but after installing it, it only installed msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll (on an XP Pro machine) and on my PC (a W2K Pro machine) it did not update the msxml3a.dll file. My "guess" is that the msxml3a.dll file is not needed - it has the name "XML Resources" as does the msxml3r.dll file so maybe the "a" file is an older version that got on my machine somehow. I tried the function on the user's machine and it seemed to work - but then it worked 50% of the time for the user before so I will have to wait and see if it works 100% of the time.

I did not manually register the dll using regsvc and it seemed to work so can I assume that the Windows Installation program does this?

Thanks,
Albert

>>After reading the below, I found another thread that gave a link to the latest (I hope) msxml3?.dll's on MSFT. These are MSXML3.dll, MSXML3A.dll and MSXMLR.DLL SP4. There is a MSXML3USA.msi file to download. Do I need to run that .msi file on each and every computer in the office? In the past, I could just put up my .exe and VFP run time files in the company's app directory and away we went - I guess that I will now have to do more work to deploy changes if I have to start registering these dll's on every PC. Note that I do not install VFP on the user's local machine: it is just up on their network.

Users get a bomb every 2nd time they run this code (why it does not happen every time, I have no idea - and note, the user can use it one time but then not the next time and visa versa).

I have not tried this (yet) - it seemed like the answer was that to use XMLTOCURSOR() that this .dll had to be installed - but I thought that VFP did not rely upon installing new .dlls along with the product. Do I have to install it on every person's PC or can I just dump it into the default directory for the app (which is what I have done with a couple other dll's that I have had to use over time).
