 It sounds to me like you do not know the mechanics of XSLT. Well that's probably part of the problem (it's new to me, but I'm learning), but also I don't think I explained it well enough. My xslt file contains : <xsl:for-each select="/FMPReport/File/descendant::Chunk [@type='FieldRef']"> <xsl:call-template name="EXPORTDATA"/> </xsl:for-each> and then later on : <xsl:template name="EXPORTDATA">
<ROW>
<xsl:attribute name="MODID">0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="RECORDID">0</xsl:attribute>
<COL>
<DATA>
<xsl:value-of select="./@type"/>
</DATA>
</COL>
<COL>
<DATA>
<xsl:value-of select="./Field/@id"/>
</DATA>
</COL>
...
</ROW>
</xsl:template>So essentially it's going through each of the FieldRef's in the XML and generating a <ROW> with a whole bunch of <COL> data. The selects that I've got take into account a whole raft of either parent nodes, child nodes and ancestor nodes as well. So any solution has to be flexible in that sense. What I was thinking it would be neat to do (from my filemaker programming perspective was have some way of having all of the lists of xsl:value-of in one place, <xsl:value-of select="./@type"/>
<xsl:value-of select="./Field/@id"/>
...and then <COL>
<DATA>
<repeat here>
</DATA>
</COL>in one place as well. That way I'm not only reducing the lines of code, but also separating the output XML from the xsl. Have I made more sense this time. This is using XALAN, so it's all xsl 1.0 too. Thanks, Nick
