Hi Christoph, I did indeed see your post, and also that there was no response - which was why I had to ask the question explicitly. Personally I haven't given access control a great deal of thought, other than to notice - as you have - that requiring changes to stored documents themselves (whether by the programmer of by Xindice) is very inconvenient and obviates some of the benefits of a native XML database. The only thing I can say is that node-level access control would be nice. Not crucial, but nice. Good luck, Vanessa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
