I thought this would be simple, but I'm obviously missing something. So that I can understand how to retrieve XML data could you please demo what would go into the Action Event of button to display XML in the FTC. I have put the following onto a Window myFTC, TextArea and 2 buttons. In the open event of the window I have cut and pasted the Demo's Insert Custom Hyperlink so myFTC opens with a working Hyperlink. Button1 Action Event code :TextArea1.Text = myFTC1.getDoc.getXML (this works because if I cut and paste that to a text editor and save it as myFile.xml it opens in the demo with the hyperlink in tacked) Button2 Action Event code: myFTC1.setXML(TextArea1.Text) (this will only show any text I have typed into myFTC1 and nothing else) What am I missing in Button2 Action event so words True North Software appear (blue and underlined) AND when clicked on it opens the hyperlink?
