Richard,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, obviously I could do that. However, for one, I'm not confident that
"<,>" are the only characters getting parsed out. Secondly, The problem is
that even if I could do a find and replace on all the parsed characters,
this information would not exist within the <![cdata[]]> tag, so it won't be
a valid XML document. (the GetXML() funciton just places the parsed data in
between the tags without "knowing" that previously it was in cdata)

Is this a part of the schema that I need to adjust to notify it to expect
these characters? If so, how?

Thanks for the input!
