Table to XML

[Lxmm]

Hello,
Is there a way to create an XML file from VFP6?.
As far as I know there is no command to extract table into XML in Version6. However, I can create a EXE in version 8, but I'm not sure to called VFP8 exe from VFP6 application. Do I need VFP6 & VFP8 runtime libraries in such case?

Please help

You may look at just creating the XML manually. TEXTMERGE may be of some benefit. Depends on how complex the XML is whether this would be realistically feasible.

If you did create a VFP 8 COM server (for example) to be used within your VFP 6 application you would need to distribute both sets of runtimes.

StrToFile() might also be a useful function.

The easiest way to do this in VFP6 is to download Rick Strahl's classes at

He wrote a predecessor to cursortoxml() and xmltocursor() way back when.
