Hi again, I think I know what you mean. And, yes, I believe that is one possible solution. Thanks!!
The only disadvantage I can see is to perform a search (i.e. : foot) over the entire collection of xml documents (reports). I would have to instantiate every document and then searching in each documente individually, am i wrong?If i'm not wrong this would be highly time-consuming ...
