A more frequent problem seems to be that the data -- when it is acquired -- turns out to be some gibberish with pointy brackets that the client has automagically concocted under the mistaken belief that adding pointy brackets makes it XML. That certainly *is* a problem, but it's separate from any difficulty with actually getting hold of the data. ///Peter XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
