Is there an example of running a query within an xsl file that you could show me?I cant see where its pulling the category data from?can you help?\[code\]<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?> <!-- ###################################################################################################### --> <!-- Copyright AspDotNetStorefront.com, 1995-2009.
