Hi Alex,
Firstly thank you so much for your reply. When I try the first option you suggested: "{new XMLListCollection(XMLList(getSpeedDialList.lastResult).SDLIST.charlist)} I stop getting errors, but the item renderer shows nothing. The second option pulls errors 1119 and 1118. I have been searching desperately for a working example of Datagroup with item renderers using XML as the provider, but just have not been able to find one. I welcome any advice you have. Warmest regards and many thanks. Craig
