You cannot include binary data as CDATA. If you really want to keep the data in the XML file, you will have to convert it to text, preferably in ASCII encoding. I don't see much advantage in such an approach and I am sure that not many XML parsers will like CDATA blocks of several megabytes. We actually had something else in mind but since you don't seem to be interested I won't waste my time explaining our ideas. Sven
