Re: queering data from another xml file

Off the cuff, assuming something/@fileref, 

         <xsl:template match="something">
                 <xsl:variable name="ref" select="@fileref"/>
                 <xsl:variable name="mike"
select="document('ACAD.xml')/ACAD/Drawing[@generated=$ref]"/>
                 <xsl:choose>
                         <xsl:when test="$mike">
                         <xsl:value-of select="$mike/@autocad">
                         </xsl:when>
                 </xsl:choose>
         </xsl:template>
