RE: [xsl] quick xpath question - using variable as attribute valu e?

["Ragulf Pickaxe" <jawxml@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kathy,

Without having seen much, I think that you - in your second expression - has 
no enclosing quotes.

Something like:
/WorkFlow/Assembly/Station[@name=""" & strStation & """]/WI[1]/@doc
should do the trick (if the whole is enclosed by " and " - it does not say 
in your examples).

Hope this helps

Sincerely
Ragulf Pickaxe
