Along the same lines but in XML: <!DOCTYPE quotedata SYSTEM "mydtd.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo SYSTEM "http://www.somedomain.com/bin/stocknews?x=1&y=2"> ]> I've had the problem where the parser will choke on the '&' here but using the entity value just gets sent to the server as is (this is with MSXML anyway), just like Tony's problem. I don't understand why the entity value isn't replaced. Dave
