Your event receiver generates XML? And you are setting that XML node via your event receiver? Can you maybe provide a little more detail?

Thank you very much Hilary. I have spent many hours searching with no luck.  I believe you are correct and have started to go down that path.  However, at some point I may have to just tough it out, as a deadline is fast approaching.  Again, I appreciate your time and hope you have a wonderful day!   -Ray-
