Erwin,

>We received an XML file from a customer, which initially had no header. Okay, we added a header, but then it was only readable with Explorer without the Encoding line. No Encoding type was accepted in the Explorer. Okay, still not much of a problem, but then we couldn't getit read with our Foxpro tool for multiple layers. If we cut the file down to the top layer only, the file was readable. The whole file was was not. In Access XP version the file was readable without any problem. Can anybody tell us what the matter is here???

Probably not without seeing a sample of the XML. Could you post some of it here using

<pre> and

tags around it and also post the VFP code you are trying to use? Without such information, we would mostly be guessing and probably not be much help.

For example, what do you mean by "multiple layers" and "single layer"? Are you referring to some kind of hierarchical XML?
