OK, but:

1. I don't interact with string conversions; I use only ADO and MSXML, so 
these components operates transformations from recordset to XML
2. these transporting system WORK RIGHT on all other PC (server) on which 
I've tried (local settings: I've tried both english-USA and italian-IT)
3. all other data values (for example date values) are rebuilt on recordset 
RIGHT

I don't know what other I can try ...

Another suggestion:
on which newsgroup can I ask for this problem ?

Thanks

Adriano
