Just make the Document type to be of "DOCUMENT". It will work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE DOCUMENT [ <!ELEMENT DOCUMENT (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST DOCUMENT trackNum CDATA #REQUIRED secLevel (unclassified|classified) "unclassified"> <!ENTITY Description "this is a very simple sample document."> ]> <DOCUMENT trackNum="1234">This is an entity inside an element: &Description;</DOCUMENT> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- One more clarification. When the above XML file is compiled using MSXML, in the output the parser does not substitute the contents of the Entity &Description;. Why it so? Is it a bug in MSXML parser or is there any error in ENTITIY declaration Thank you K.
