Hi Martin,


Brilliant! ..Yes your guess worked this time. I was using a namespace on the first input document as well. I fixed it and it all worked.

Thanks for all your help!

I very much appreciate it.

>so posting as fast as you can is not necessarily always the best approach

More generally, with programming, running fast is not a good way to arrive quickly. Peter Swinnerton-Dyer famously was given six weeks to write an operating system, and spent the first five sitting on a bench in his garden, thinking. He met the deadline.
