I was able to get to this point through some serious internet digging and combined with what you have sent me I am 99% there. Two of the four paramteres pass and XML value that the cursortoxml() function creates. How/what data type would be specified to send these two value? Also what in this great earth of ours would make me want to change from the very simple ODBC method to this very coplicated OLE method?!? There has to be some good reasons but I am not getting to them yet. :)

Thanks again for all the help.
