I think you need to ask for resultFormat="e4x". Then try tracing out data.toXMLString() to see what XML you're getting. I can't remember whether you'd do data.a.b.c or data.b.c. (I think the top-level element <a> may BE the data.) There's no point in using .. instead of . between b and c. If you want to use .. you'd just say data..c. - Gordon

Help appreciated! Alex
