document() function can only be used to retrieve well-formed XML documents and your File A is not well-formed. If you add a wrapper element, either by changing the file or using a wrapper XML document where you include the File A using external general entity, then it will work.

If you wrap the File A into some element and fix files so that the "JohanCompositeAddress" string is the same in both files, then e.g.

  <xsl:variable name="value" select="document('File A.')//Address[@Type = 'CompositeAddress']" />
  <xsl:for-each select="document('File B.')/CompositeAddress/*[name() = $value/@Value]">
    <UserName Value="{$value/preceding-sibling::Name[1]/@value}"/>
    <UserAddres>
      <xsl:copy-of select="Address" />
    </UserAddres>
  </xsl:for-each>

The node $value is bound to and the node-set the xsl:for-each selects might not be the best possible, change them to better suit the whole structure of your source document. Also, the next time you ask a question on the list, it might be worth it posting your non-functioning XSLT stylesheet and ask how to fix it, instead of asking for a whole solution.
