Hi Karl, I'm afraid your question doesn't have a single answer. It depends on too many local factors. There are plenty of XML processors available which you can use to test files for basic syntactic correctness (well-formedness); any computer you buy nowadays already comes with several. Your browser is one. You could ask your users to open their files in a browser and make sure they don't get syntax errors. But when they make mistakes and have to fix something, what will they be able to do to correct them? They probably need better feedback than an ugly error message if something is wrong, or not much of anything if everything is okay. What applications are they already using to create and edit their XML? Building this kind of workflow means not only deploying the tools, but also providing the support. In fact, I think the support comes first. If your users don't have the technical expertise to be responsible for themselves, you need someone whose role it is to share the responsibility and to help others learn to do so. They will find (or build) tools that work well for the problem domain and the tools the users are already familiar with. These might be lightweight XML editors, or web services where you can upload files, or command-line utilities that can be called from a text editor, or any number of other things.

I mean to be used by data handlers to check themself. Out problem is that we need to provide some mechanism to out non-tech people so that they can check and loaded into a automated process. Any suggestions? > > Thanks, > Karl > -- Wendell Piez | http://www.wendellpiez.com XML | XSLT | electronic publishing Eat Your Vegetables _____oo_________o_o___ooooo____ooooooo_^
