You need a XSLT stylesheet to transform the source into FMPXMLRESULT grammar. The stylesheet in this case should be very easy to construct, except for Customer ID (whose bright idea was it to put it inside a comment?).

I don't know why the application should "hang". Is there an error message?

Dear Lisa,

 

If it's a global field, then every record will have 'Online' - is this what you are really after?

 

Or is it something else that's the desired outcome?
