Hi Francisco,

The behavior you see may be not always desired, but expected. The ToCursor method looks for record elements anywhere in the document. If a field element has the same name, it is going to be parsed as a record. There are several workarounds including: using different element names, different case, use attributes rather than elements to store field values. In VFP9, there is a new property XMLAdapter.RespectNesting that deals with the issue without any modifications to the XML document.

Thanks,
Aleksey.
