Partly because of low acceptance of xpointer syntax among some elements of our programming staff I ended up writing a partial instance-based query module instead of using xpointers in CBL. It seemed to me that xpointers were okay for pointing into the tree one step at a time, but weren't designed to do what you want; however, a query should be able to do so. So maybe you're barking up the wrong tree and will have to await whatever the W3C does with XML queries. regards, Terry Allen Terry Allen Veo Systems, Inc. Business Language Designer 2440 W.
