Ensure that the Character encoding is what it says it is at the top of the XML file. VMS may be using a different code page. When you open it in notepad Windows may be doing some converion on it when you save the file.

HOWEVER, if i copy the contents of that same xml file and paste it into a new xml file (using notepad), this new xml file parses no problems whatsoever. i have analyzed the legacy generated xml file to death (file compare utilities, hex editor, line by line diff utilities) but as far as i can tell they are the same. can anyone shed light on this obscure anomaly? i want to save what little sanity i have left... please and thanks, woodchuck (should i post to the xerces developer list?) _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
