 I need help with converting XML document to a different formed XML document. Rather than copying and pasting, it will help you to understand the process behind the scenes: you are building a new tree from an old tree. The new tree is almost identical to the old tree except for the table data elements. I'm very new to this Then you should find a book or online tutorial to understand the basics. and will continue to look for a solution. I'm unsure you would find a solution to copy ... it would be best to look at the nature of the problem. You need the identity template for most of the items and you need a template that constructs the result tree as desired for your table data. If possible can you explain the code. I've commented the code ... as for explaining it, I'll again suggest you find out how things work rather than simply looking for your exact solution to copy and paste without understanding the principles. I hope the example below directs you on the principles being used. . . . . . . . . . . Ken T:\ftemp>type mike.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <fxf version="1.0" data="hold">
