Thanks David. I'm sorry I wasn't more specific. One of the problems I have here is that the xslt file is very large. The input document is even larger (50Mb). So I'll do what I can to make things clearer. Firstly, it's xslt 1.0. It's for a BizTalk application and BizTalk can only deal with xslt 1.0. Ah! I see you've just posted again. I'll check that out before replying further.

You haven't given any indication of the form of your input document, or the current node at the point that you evaluate your posted code, but I'd guess that this is wrong and perhaps the cause of the problem. <xsl:if test="/s0:HesaSqlExplicit_Response/s0:Institution/s0:Student/s0:Instance /s0:REDUCEDI = '00'"> <xsl:if test="s0:DOMICILE='XF' The first test goes back to the root of the document to find s0:REDUCEDI, but is the current node the parent of "s0:DOMICILE and s0:POSTCODE. in xslt2 I'd write something like <xsl:if test="/s0:HesaSqlExplicit_Response/s0:Institution/s0:Student/s0:Instance /s0:REDUCEDI = '00'"> <xsl:if test=" s0:DOMICILE=('XG', 'XH', 'XI', 'XK', 'XL', 'GG', 'JE', 'IM')"> <xsl:copy-of select="s0:POSTCODE"/> <xsl:if test="empty(s0:POSTCODE)"> <POSTCODE ReasonForNull="1"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:if> But again, it's not possible to say if this is right or not without knowing what the source looks like.
