Right, I have now got the XSLT to transform the XML to HTML. I am also able to store this new HTML file to a directory, (not specifiable by user...yet).It was as I said, I had saved the file but not writetn the newly created HTML to it!Great! now I have to concentrate on geting the newly created HTML file to have the extension .html not .xml. This I will investigate!

you just save it with .html instead of .xml. Okay, this is what you need to do.
1. Save the file
2. Open/Apply the XSLT to the .xml file
3. Save the file AS filename.html
4. Create download link to file location.

I had thought it was as simple as
fileName.ReplaceExtension(".html");
But I was wrong lol!
fileName.ReplaceExtension(".html");
But I was wrong lol!

no no lol, you need to use "saveAs" and save it with the name and the extension .html. Do something like, find the period in the string with InStr, then get the left number characters from that dot (InStr - 1), then "SaveAs(filename & ".html")"

what would be ideal is if the user is forced to just save the file in a hard coded directory (created if not existing) as html file. Now I have achieved half of that goal! the html is saved to (say c:/temp) hard coded dir but its saved as .xml not .html.all i want is to change the file extension before it is saved in c:/temp. Any ideas? THanks

You can. Right where you have "saveAs" you are saving it.
InStr is just In String. It finds the first position of a character or phrase.
So lets say the filename is:
Dim filename As String = "yucky.xml"
You use InStr to find it:
InStr(filename, ".xml")
Or use a huge one and just do everything at once:
.SaveAs((filename.remove((InStr(filename, ".xml")),(Len(filename)-(InStr(filename,".xml"))))) & ".html")
