Version 2 predates XML by a few years - it isn't surprising that version 2 isn't well suited to support XML. V3 has been on the streets for 8 years now (a company such as MS would probably have declared end of life on anythnig older than that ;-) ), so saying the v2 doesn't support XML and that you need to move to v3 if you want XML doesn't seem that unreasonable to me! Should I duck now? Matthew
