Thanks, I am new to using xml and xslt and never thought about using parameters. I had built my xml file containing the file names like <FILES> <FILENAME1>path1/filename1</FILENAME1> <FILENAME2>path2/filename2</FILENAME2> </FILES> and could not for the life of me figure out how to get the element value selected. I tried every combination of <xsl:variable ... /> and <xsl:value-of select ="FILENAME1"/> I could think of in my XSLT. I even tried curly braces like FOP allows {FILENAME1} and was ready to throw in the towel. I changed my file to <FILES filename1="path1/file1" filename2="path2/file2"> <PATH>pathinfo</PATH> ... </FILES> and then used <xsl:variable name="file1" select="document(@filename1)"/> and it works like a charm Thanks again, Rich XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
