Not directly, in XSLT 1.0 (In XSLT 2.0, you can use xsl:sequence). But you can create a variable whose value is an RTF (as above), and then create a second variable that converts it to a boolean: <xsl:variable name="hasContracts-boolean" select="$hasContracts = 'true'"/> Michael Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
