While you might think you are using MSXML4 you can't actually be using it if you get an error when using translate because DOMDocument40 sets the SelectionLanguage second level property to XPath *by default* and you can't actually select another language (it doesn't support the old selection language). http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/ htm/xml2nd_pro_v4_9rc5.asp <quote> In MSXML 3.0 you can set this property to "XPath" to switch the query language from XSLPattern to XPath. After the property is set, there is no way to switch back without creating an instance of a new DOM object. MSXML 4.0 and later supports XPath as the only query language. This property is always set to "XPath" in MSXML 4.0 and later. You can ignore this property completely. </quote> On the page you reference below it says: 'To use MSXML 4.0, you need to use 4.0 dependent progid explicitly. Which means you need to set oXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0"); Rather than set oXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument"); Again, if you really are using MSXML4 then there is no need to set the selection language to XPath. -----Original Message----- From: Hardy Merrill [mailto:HMerrill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 8:01 AM To: Hansen, John; xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: pattern matching possible? A co-worker of mine found the answer this morning on MS support site: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315719 Note that we *are* using MSXML 4. Here's a snipped from that page: SUMMARY MSXML includes two functions that you can use to filter data in a case-insensitive search. With MSXML 3.0, you can use the translate function. With MSXML 4.0, you can use either the translate function or the new ms:string-compare XPath function. oXML.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath" set node = oXML.selectSingleNode("Domains/DomainName[translate(., 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') = 'mydomain1.com']") --------------------------------------------------------- So, going with the "translate" approach, all we had to do was add this line: oXML.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath" and then our translate worked fine. Thanks for the input. Hardy Merrill
