You are using a method that can throw a DocumentException if something goes wrong. Just like you caught the IOException, you have to add a catch phrase with a DocumentException. Other alternatives are: 1. use a superclass of both exceptions in the catch phrase (e.g. Exception) 2. use throws DocumentException right after the declaration of the method name. This may not work at all times: if you are overriding a superclass method, you can only throw the exceptions that are thrown by that supermethod. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
