================
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
Run the following from the Command window.
NOTE: You need to provide the actual servername, user identification, and
password for your installation of SQL Server.
nConnection = SQLSTRINGCONNECT("driver=SQL
Server;Server=servername;UID=sa;pwd=;database=Northwind")
? SQLEXEC(nConnection, "select * from customers where customerid='CACTU'
for xml auto,elements", "cust_xml")
BROWSE NOWAIT
SQLDISCONNECT(nConnection)
After you run the code, the results appear in a cursor with one 255-character
column. Because the size of this particular field is approximately 351
characters, Visual FoxPro should return the results to a memo field.
