In the "actual" web program that this snippet came from uses the strict and warning, but I left it out do to "laziness" and I knew it wasn't the problem here.

The data for the new record would be gotten from a web form, I provided for ease of testing only. In my version I can insert the record, but the creation of the XML file is what I need help with. This is my problem, not the SQL part.

Looking at the code you provided (and testing it), it doesn't save the "newly" inserted record to the XML file. How is this done using AnyData modules? What am I doing wrong?
