 The file header I create indicates ISO-8859-1 encoding. When I attempt to parse my XML file with the MS SAX interface I get the following error; "invalid character was found in text content". This is a message about your XML characters ... not about your encoding. When it first occured I discovered that an embedded Hex 1E character was the culprit so my parsing routine "swallowed" that character. A few days later the problem reoccured and the culprit was a Hex 05 character. I do NOT want to be surprised again tomorrow. Is there a comprehensive list of invalid characters for the ISO-8859-1 encoding scheme This is not what you are looking for, though you don't realize it. that I could use to create the necessary pre-process filter ?? You need to filter out non-XML characters ... neither hex 1E nor nex 05 are in XML, but they are both in the C0 set of ISO-2022, the framework within which Latin-1 ISO-8859-1 can be used in either the GL or GR (typically GR). The list of valid XML characters is in the XML recommendation. According to production [2], only tab, linefeed and carriage return are allowed from the C0 set of control characters. Note these are *not* in Latin-1, but in the control set. Please see the Recommendation to determine which characters are allowed. This is specified in Unicode, and all characters of Latin-1 are in Unicode. The list I gave you above is the complete list of the three allowed control characters, as specified in production [2]. I hope this helps. ........................ Ken -- Training Blitz: 3-days XSLT/XPath, 2-days XSLFO in Ottawa 2001-10-01/05 G.
