Ken You introduce a very useful and powerful technique for adding structure where it doesn't exist. Thanks for sharing this with us. Just one minor point though, you stop the "urldesc" mode on reaching a URL element. However, the URL element is in the output document, not the input. You should be stopping the "urldesc" chaining on the URLADR element. so <xsl:template match="URL" mode="urldesc"/> <!--stop at next URL--> should be <xsl:template match="URLADR" mode="urldesc"/> <!--stop at next URL--> Kind regards Rob Lugt ElCel Technology http://www.elcel.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.
