Doesn't the answer depend on where you want the "on-the-fly" transformation to occur- on the desktop or on the server?

For true "on-the-fly" transformations your best bet might be something you already have: your web browser. Internet Explorer and Firefox can both perform XML to HTML transformations. Be sure that your file has the xsl style sheet called out properly at the top and just open it in IE or Firefox. Michele -=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=- Michele R.
