Joris,

Sorry about that I did have the xsl included in the code I tried (just a 
typo when typing in here) sorry for the confusion. Anyway your right it works 
with the snipped data that I posted. Turns out that the error was occuring 
much later in the full xml document when encountering an é character and 
thats the data I was testing with. I have had this issue alot and have no 
idea why when encoding is set to utf-8 that this would cause a problem 
usually I have control of the data source and replace any extended characters 
like that but clearly thats not an option here any idea what to do to resolve 
this? 

BTW the Microsoft.XMLDOM blows at reporting errors when I moved it all to 
client side stuff and declared an xsl in the xml document I got the proper 
error reported server side with the object just fails and makes no error 
report (even though an error catch is explictly called). 

Anyway any help on the extended character thing would be VERRRRYYYYY helpful 
I guess its about time I figured out how to avoid eh???

Thanks again,

Jason
