Unfortunately, it would not work well with nested structures like the example given.

He's referring to the WebConnect package that this website sells.

Hmmm. Not sure I'm following you 100%.

Have you tried the VFP function XMLTOCURSOR()?

No - I see now that you're dealing with 4 related tables.

My instinct would be to use VFP string concatenation and just treat it as a text file.

I have stayed away from XML, it has never had much use for us. Now we inherited a project that requires converting an XML file into VFP cursor/tables. The XML layout is always the same. I see I will have to manually parse it, and I was wondering if it is straight forward enough that some kind soul will show me the code to do it. We are swamped and unlikely to ever use XML again.

Thanks, thanks, thanks!
