If you just used a value of, it would only get the first node. There are 2 text nodes in the xml string you gave us, so chances are you would need to use a for-each or apply-templates or something. I don't know if we will be able to tell you unless we can see what you are doing. Chris Strolia-Davis Database Specialist Contractor - CDO Technologies Inc.
