Hello Michel

not a solution, but played around with xml just to see how it works, etc. i used West Winds XML library, because i work with Vfp 6. i had some serious memory problems and was told by the fox community here that xml is supposed to be for small record sets.

as you can tell, i don't realy know too much about architecture, etc of xml, but i thought the tread i was discussing my problem helps a little.
