I would report it as a bug to Microsoft, as well. VFP should be smart enough to know that a 'number' with two decimals is actually a string-- the data type matching code should be easy enough to change to 'must be ONLY ONE decimal point'...

If you were using an XSD schema, I believe this would have worked as it should. I've never used an XSD schema with XMLTOCURSOR(), but I believe it's possible... I really don't use XMLTOCURSOR() that much, as I rarely have XML data that simple...
