Thanks for the reply
As best as I can tell it's not a page that I'm reading, just the dataset
it starts with <DataSet ........
From what I read the domxml needs to be installed, I can't do this as
I don't have control over the server, I need a solution that does not
anything else installed and will run from standard PHP install from a
server provider.
