Andrew, Martin's answer was perfect. Languishing in the xsl1 backwaters I've been watching the pack move away and had actually assumed that boolean() didn't work in XSL1. It's a problem because I see these neat solutions on the xsl-list and most of the time now they are xsl2 only.

Guessing the requirements, I think would want to tokenize the FullName and then compare the FamilyName to the last item... but cant be sure. -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com
