XmlPort and HTML - Special Entity Codes

Member Posts: 25
Hallo,
I made an xmlport that exports some contact data.
When i open the xml it looks like this.
<body>
<No>K10121</No>
<Name>STEVENS W & CIE - new customer</Name>
<SearchName>STEVENS W & CIE - NEW CUSTOMER</SearchName>
<Name2/>
<Address>somewhere over the rainbow</Address>
<Address2/>
</body>
so as you can see navision changes the & to &
(Normal the name is : STEVENS W & CIE - new customer)
So what's the problem ?
Well i made a second xmlport which imports the contact data in navision.
What happens, navision gives an overflow error because it counts & as 5 characters.
Anybody any idea how to solve this ?
Maybe it's just a property i have to change.
Or do i have to use cdata ?
thanks,

you can specify by a property in the XML-Port, in which format the XML-Port import or export the data.
The property is called Format/Evaluate and you find it an the first free line in the XML-Port-Designer.
(BTW : & is a kind to mask special characters. When you open your XML-File with a internet browser, you see the rigth character.)
