Bonnie,
Yes, you are correct, chr(10) was causing the problem. And I got good suggestions on how to remove chr(10) from the string. Then I ran into a limit of 255 char length when passing from .NET to VFP. So I decided to pass the data by saving an XML file on the drive and then loading this XML file on VFP side. So I am working on implementing this approach now.

Thank you,

>>I think you misunderstood my question. I don't have a dataset. I create XML string on-the-fly from TEXT properties of several textboxes. And I was having problem getting an error on sending the XML string to VFP over OleDb. The error was caused by chr(10) in the multiline textbox; that is, when user was typing in the multiline textbox. So far, the only way I found to get around the problem is to "remove" the CHR(10) from the string.
