I have created a small vfp-com dll that returns data as an xml-string. This works fine. However, if I return the string on a webpage I get the following message:
Error: An invalid character was found in text content (in a dialog)

When the string is shown in the browser you see the following:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Taking a close look into the string itself it is refering to the µ (greek-micro) character.

I could remove this character but are the any more such characters that will give this problem. Is it possible to replace this character with an xml-allowed variant. Why can VFP generate this xml if it is not what Internet Explorer likes to have.

Thanks in advance,

Ron
