For big tables, I simply use an FTP transfer instead of an XML string during the Web Service transfer. This has resolved the issue.

That makes sensed if portability isn't going to be an issue. It would have been interesting to know how much a schema would have helped though - it would certainly save MSXML making a first pass to ascertain the table layout. Guess I'll have to experiment myself now <g>.
