I used to hate xslt too - but I must admit I've got quite good at it now - and for simple tasks its quick. I'm using OxygenXML for debugging xslt as it has a single step debugger - without which xslt is very much tougher!! The Saxon java library also is tool of choice. DW -Original

If you know what the fields are that you want then you need to hand code putting those back into the form again after the import. Suggest you use some external layout script if you have a lot of fields read that setup those fields. DW From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
