Don't forget that the XML that is produced by the transformation also has to be well-formed. It is possible that your source XML and XSL are well-formed but the output XML isn't. Make sure that you don't produce several root tags in the output and that you don't output plain character data before or after the root element. If this doesn't help, do you care to post your files? -- Ilya
