For XML Explicit in a stored proc

I searched and searched and didn't see what (i think) i need for a
solution.
Here's my situation. SQL 2k5 Stored Proc with
set @.XMLFile = (
SELECT
1 as Tag,
NULL as Parent,
cr.ID as [Resume!1!ID],
cr.GUID as [Resume!1!GUID],
cr.CandidateResumeTypeID as [Resume!1!typeID],
cr.ResumeName as [Resume!1!Name],
NULL as [resume_content!2!!ELEMENT],
lots and lots more.
ending in FOR XML EXPLICIT)
I get an error with this approach. The Query alone outside a proc and
outside the set blah blah = () returns an XML file. I need a proc to do
the same thing.

Its always helpful to know the exact error, etc. but, have you considered
using FOR XML PATH instead? I've successfully used that many times in a stor
ed
procedure exactly this way.
Thank you,
