Ok, got it working.
Had some troubles with namespaces which still confuses me greatly but
its working.. let me explain.

The source XML files have the followng structure

<SiebelMessage
xmlns="http://www.siebel.com/xml/CPC%20FBE%20Outbound%20Internal%20IO";>
    <Message>
        <Account Version="1.0.4">
	   <Value1/>
	   <Value2/>
	   ...
        </Account>
    </Message>
</SiebelMessage>

The stylesheet is as follows

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    xmlns:agr="http://www.siebel.com/xml/CPC%20FBE%20Outbound%20Internal%20IO
">

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <html>
            <body>
                <h2>In file analysis</h2>
                <table border="1">
                    <tr>
                        <th>Value1</th>
                        <th>Value2</th>
                    </tr>
                    <xsl:for-each

select="collection('file:///c:/tmp/?select=*.xml')/agr:SiebelMessage/agr:Mess
age/agr:Account">
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <xsl:value-of select="agr:Value1"/>
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                <xsl:value-of select="agr:Value2"/>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </xsl:for-each>
                </table>
            </body>
        </html>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>



I had thought that the matching expression  should be something like
<xsl:template match="/agr:SiebelMessage/agr:Message"), then the
collection select would just have been <xsl:for-each
select="collection('file:///c:/tmp/?select=*.xml'/agr:Account">

No matter what I did I could not get that working, thought I'm sure
it's posible.

Seems I need to read up on namespaces and xslt as there is much I do
not understand

Thanks very much for all the help.
Much appreciated

Sean
