I guess all your XML Input files have the same structure (same dtd or schema) If that is correct, here are my answers: > > 1. Is this possible, I think it is but just checking all the same.

If so, what would be my next step in transforming an XML file. ( a push > in the right direction is always helpful ) You need a good book and an XSL-Processor - you probably already have. Then make sure that you know the structures of input and output files and write a stylesheet. If you have any problems (grouping? keys? node equality?) - just write to the xsl-list. If my first guess is not correct: - different input files: write one stylesheet for each kind of input file - any misunderstandings: just ask again!
