>I want to create a set of cursors from an XML file. There are 3 associated Schemas that must be used together. The Schemas and XML data files are from a Standards organization so I am confident of their correctness. I have slightly modified a FoxPro sample program but cannot get past the first step. After the XMLAdapter.LoadXML command the value of oXMLAdapter.Tables.Count is zero and oXMLAdapter.SOM is NULL. I do not get an error message on the LoadXML command. Is there something else I have to do if I have 3 related Schemas? How can I get my XML file into FoxPro tables? Here is part of the code:

I wouldn't be confident. They might be correct but it's almost hard to find an incorrect one. Legally you can create an hierarchical XML in a zillion ways.
For example, you can load a .Net generated hierarchical XML with no problems and you'd have N tables. However, try another XML, again from MS, but this time ADO generated hierarchical:) IOW, VFP's XMLAdapter as far as I could see doesn't work with all types of hierachical XMLs (and I think this is documented).
