This tests wether the the name of the element is the same as its attribute
"Name" (true for <USER Name="USER"> for example)
That's not what you want - you want the attribute from the current
node (matched by match pattern "xmc:TextField").
The correct expression is
<xsl:if test="$DataPacket/TEXTFIELD/TEXTFIELD/*[name()=current()/@Name]">

BTW: XSLT questions are better posted to xsl-list@m...,

Cheers,
Oliver
