Thanks for the information. That makes sense and was what I had originally thought would work. I originally tried calling the namespace variable xml to match the prefix in the XML document, however I received an error. If I had read the stacktrace message more carefully I'd have seen it was caused by me calling the namespace variable xml AND the XML variable xml. Whoops! :) cheers, - shaun
