that is essentially what I need to do yes, but I went down the wrong way with this.I initially thought I could save it to their machine and transform it before the save was established. Saving it in a temp dir, apply XSLT send to client. That is an excellent idea, I hadn't thought of that. I have been hell bent on getting it to work the other (wrong) way lol. I'll give it a bash and let you know how it goes SheSaidImaPregy.Thanks for your reply
