Thanks! Your suggestion allows me to access a specific value. What would be the best way to actually take the input xml transform it into a new xml and just change a value or add a new element? Would it be best to do a template match on "/" and do a for-each on each element and then test each element to see if it was the one I wanted to change? Would it be better to set up specify template match statements for each of the top-level elements and output the xml from the input document except in the case where I need to change it?
