XML is quite funny if it gets about the way is written.

try to look if the file is correctly formatted or post it here

Does the XML declaration (the first line in the file) contain an encoding attribute?

Its possible the file contains a character which is invalid in that encoding.

Have you tried reading the file into a program like XML Spy?

Hi,

first of all validate your XML, you can search (for example codebeautify).

There are some escape characters that invalidate a XML, not only for QlikView, but in general.

For example: " ' < > & that you can replace with:

" &quot;
' &apos;
< &lt;
> &gt;
& &amp;


Let us know.
