Thanks Cetin,

See my recent reply to Martin Jindra for a more complete explanation of my problem. The simple xmltocursor errors out with a parse error even if I split up the file because the format is inconsistant. So as much as I don't want to it looks like I will have to use DOM unless I can figure out this schema thing. I'm currently using VFP 7.0 (anxiously waiting for release 9) so the xmladaptor is not an option yet.

Thanks again
