Ive got a 6i form that captures several pieces of information from the user. I need, when I commit the form to create an XML document using the fields on the form. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I notice in 6i developer that there are XML properties on the objects, but I do not know anything about XML. I had planned to just construct a properly formatted xml document "by hand" but there must be an easier way... any suggestions would be appreciated....

 
Where did you see such properties? I suppose you have to write your own procedure for Forms. Though Reports may produce XML output, just specify DESFORMAT Regards, Dima
 
sorry, youre right, it was in reports that I saw the XML properties... I have written a script that uses text_io to create the text file/xml document from an event on my form because I want the user to generate it as they enter data. But, of course, I can have a report generate the xml... sorry to be so stupid, yesterday was a long day....
