In my hurry, I accidentally put the attribute prefix ('@') in the examples,
which I'm sure you worked out.
Nevertheless, neither <xsl:when test="Transaction/Filing/OldFilingNumber">
nor <xsl:when test="Transaction/Filing/OldFilingNumber!=''"> should cause an
xpath error per se. I would suggest you look elsewhere for the cause of your
problem.
The column number in that message looks a bit odd (-1). I'm not familiar
with the way you are doing your transforms, maybe you could try a different
parser and see if you get the same error?

So I am not totally clear then, does Darrens method
check to see if the tag exists then? Anyways, I am
still getting the XPath error with his method. Any
other suggestions?
Thanks,
Bryan
