Hope you don't mind, I've started a new thread for this as the previous one
was getting a bit deep!

Joseph - your XML+XSL => HTML sample's working beautifully, many thanks for
making it, very kind of you. I'm actually extremely impressed now.

What I really meant is how do you know what the code for the XSL template
is? Do you just have to learn it or figure it out, like a language just as
you do with VB, and then type it into the XSL file in notepad and test it?
Or are there GUI-based programs that can automatically generate the XSL
syntax? However your example does illustrate more than enough to get me
started.
