Hi Eduard, Thanks for the explanation and the links.
I am not looking for the Java way since we already have a XML exporter in place that is exporting the information in our environment (which is heavily object based) in a way that can be used by third parties. This is the way we are looking for a more final solution. We were looking for an easy and quick (intermediate) solution to bridge the gap so to speak. The strange thing is, that I use google to search extensively for things before i ask for info in this group. I was somewhat surprised to see the link (no 7) which is exactly what I needed! I thank you again for the help and I’m sorry that I have not been able to find it myself.
