Thanks, I've created a delimited file of all the HTML Character references. I then loop through and do a replace as previously suggested. However, IE's XML Parser still doesn't like the é which represents é
For all intents and purposes it's ok and works with the RDF processor. However, I'd like IE to be able to view the XML file just for completeness.
