Hi there everyone,

Is there a problem with TSQLQuery's SaveToFile method? When I save a
dataset to disk using
SaveToFile('test.xml'), I get a file with data inside it. But when I
change it to SaveToFile('test.xml', dfXMLUTF8) or
SaveToFile('test.xml', dfXML), I get an empty file.

HAs anyone had a similar experience on this forum?

Thanks,

JD

SaveToFile without 2nd parameter uses default dfBinary format (so it
is not XML)
You must put in your uses clause: uses xmldatapacketreader then this
unit will register datapacket reader/writer for dfXML
(for dfXMLUTF8 there is no supplied unit so this format is not
supported ... You should get exception)

Thanks LacaK. It worked just like you suggested.
