Wow, thanks everyone for your replies - I wasn’t sure if I would get any! We were running v15 server in 64-bit mode (clients were 32-bit of course). We changed some of the web processors to pre-emptive, no change. Will ask the developer to answer some of the more technical questions you asked.

I think it would be more practical if you could elaborate how exactly you "import" the XML (it could mean so many different things) as well as what you mean when you say "some" of the data is missing. we are happy to help, but a piece of XML included in an email does not feel like the right way
