Free table is not an option. This is an existing application. I need to add a stored procedure to convert an XML file to a cursor. VFP 6 does not have (as far as I know) functions to "deal" with XML files. So my thought was to create VFP 8 database with a stored procedure that would process the XML file. But, alas, this will not work.
So I will just have to parse the XML file in VFP 6 stored procedure.
Thank you for your suggestion.
