hey Alex, yes, there are about 10 different classes that can be called on this way, and currently I am linking to all of them so they will be available, I'm not using modules.
i was more asking if there was a way to just 'cast' that xml to the class, so i don't have to loop over the attributes- but if that's the way to go, that will work too. thanks, d.
