You use a predicate to achieve this:

    ...
  </xsl:for-each>

I hope this helps.

That was exactly what I was after, I didn't realise I could do that. Thanks for your help Ken.

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="ExportEntries[../Restore/@state='True']" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="ExportEntries">
   ... do something on ExportEntry level ....
   <xsl:apply-templates select="ExportEntry/Field" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Field">
    .... do something on field level ....
   ... this is the same as the core of your for-each ...
</xsl:template>
