I had a situation like this, except I couldn't get a schema file. The XML files defied all attempts to decode them with xmltocursor() or any of the VFP stuff. After creating a few head-sized holes in my wall, I figured that everything else I had seen from the programming shop that produced the XML bore the stench, er "stamp" of Redmond, so I cheated. I used automation to open the file in Excel and save it as a DBF. All of the defaults in Excel converted the XML perfectly, and the DBF suited my purposes just fine. I'm sure the next release of Excel will break it, but for now: it works, the client is happy, and I am happy to have this pig off of my lap.
