You're absolutely right! Being a newbie at this I originally connected
to my local XML files using HTTPService request without the e4x format
and this worked fine. After I discovered I didn't need to do this, I
moved to XML tags with e4x formatting and ran into the problem.
BTW, I tried selected='{Boolean(data.cdrBusinessCharge)}' and that did
not work.
Thanks again to all for the input.
