HST> Your first <field> is not allowed -- you can't use '..' in the xpaths HST> for fields or selectors. If what you're trying to say is that fields HST> are unique within forms, and forms are unique within IDs, you need two HST> keys. XML Schema won't support two-stage keys until a subsequent HST> version. Yeah, I've just realised that in terms of making things unique, even if that key had done what I expected, it wouldn't actually have been what I wanted - it should as you say be two keys because the FormID must be unique. However I also need to be able to reference the key as it was originally written ie: <Check FormIDRef="FORM_2" FieldIDRef="FIELD_1"/> I need to check in this case that FIELD_1 exists within FORM_2. Are you saying I cannot do this at present? I thought that was the point of having multiple <field xpath=""> elements? HST> XML Spy should have bounced your xpath. I've already mailed then a couple of times about similar issues with their selector xpath subset. I'll mail them again about that. -- groovy baby, Kevin mailto:xmldude@burieddreams.com ++++++++++++ Cool music - http://burieddreams.com/marshan ++++++ Attitude Webzine - http://burieddreams.com/attitude
