Hi,
This problem occurs because your cursor name and field name are the same.

Create Cursor mycursor (myfield c(10), mycursor c(10))

I'm sure that's a bug, because XMLTOCURSOR(m.xml) returns one record cursor without a problem. In your case you can use code to change the cursor name in XML.


oXML=NewObject("XMLAdapter")
lcXMLName = STRCONV(STRCONV("newcursor",1),5)
oXML.AddTableSchema("mycursor",.t.,lcXMLName)


I think you are right, it's a bug in XMLAdapter class...
