Sorry for the delay in thanking you, Jakob -- I'm on digest. The xml file is undoubtedly less-than well-formed, but so are the previous files unfortunately.
Your suggestion of using rxp is gratefully received. I've tried several, including XML Spy, but found them extreeeeeeeeeeeeemely slow to use :) We are still trying to find/make the time for the developer to produce and run a new Perl script that breaks up the data into edible chunks for Frame. jjj -- _________________________ John Pitt, technical writer 47 Gottenham St Glebe NSW 2037 Ph: 02 9692 8096 Mob: 0438 92 8096 john at pitt.net.au www.pitt.net.au
