Ok, that clears things up a lot. Thanks Michael. Chris Bordeman -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 3:43 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Forgive the noob There's no "up front" in XSLT: no after, no before, no concept of time at all. It's a stateless language. Concepually, everything happens at once. Accordingly, there's no concept of writing to a variable "at the start" and reading it "later". Your two <xsl:variable name="buyerfullname"/> instructions are declaring completely unrelated variables, the only thing they have in common is that they both have the same name. Just do the initialisation within the declaration of the global variable: <xsl:variable name="buyer" > select="Contract/Borrowers/Borrower[NumOrder='1']"/> <xsl:variable name="buyerfullname" select="fn:borrowerfullname($buyer)"/> You could make that <xsl:variable name="buyerfullname" select="if ($buyer) then fn:borrowerfullname($buyer) else ()"/> but I would personally put the logic for that inside the function.
