RE: [xsl] Use same xml file with different XSL stylesheets

["Ignacio Garcia del Campo" <igarc001@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not using IE to do the XSL transformation.

Right now I am using XMLSpy to create the files.

The base xml file will be created from data in a Database, at the time the 
XML is created (base.xml) I would like to create base_01.xml and base_02.xml 
that include the stylesheets with the transformations.

I could easily create the three files containing all the data and they will 
work, but I would like to know if there is a way to reference base.xml from 
both base_01.xml and base_02.xml to save space.

This is just for space saving shake, it is not required for my plan to work.

Thanks.
