Hi, I'm trying to hide a page in a inherit view, with this sentence:

<page string="Sales & amp; Purchases " position="replace"/>

There is a blank space between & and amp here in the message because of the syntax, but in the xml file there is no blank space.

The question is that when i try to load the xml view, i have this error:

"Invalid XML for View Architecture!"

I have other sentences hiding other pages, and i have no problem, for example:

<page string="Accounting" position="replace"/>

The only problem is with the ampersand sign. Then i'm trying to hide this page with xpath expression, because in xpath i have no problem with ampersand, but Somebody knows how to do that? I mean, fix the ampersand error or hide it with xpath expression? Here is my path expression, its only a test to see if ampersand works, and it works!!! <xpath expr="/form/sheet/notebook/page[@string='Sales & Purchases']" position="inside"> <label string="test de label"/> </xpath>

It doesn't work, the problem is in the "string" attribute. In this case, the string value is "Sales & Purchases", and i get an error when i put an ampersand in the string value, even with the format & amp;

I don't know where are you wanting to hide this anyways do this:

<xpath expr="//page[@string='Sales &amp; Purchases']" position="replace"/>

Or maybe this can work too:

<xpath expr="//page[@string='Sales & Purchases']" position="replace"/>

You only have to write the phrase as is in the XML
