Hello,

I'm taking baby steps learning to import a xml data file and a xslt style sheet. I've followed the examples provided with FileMaker and read http://www.goya.com.au/node/105, I am getting close, but I have yet to see data in FileMaker...

I don't get error messages, the import recognises the stylesheet, I can match the fields, the correct number of records gets created but they are empty... I am hoping it is something obvious (or an error a newbie would likely make)

Any pointers?

I don't think it's possible to make a useful suggestion without seeing your source data and your stylesheet.

Here: I had to modify the files to remove data I did not want to "share"... hopefully once I can get some data imported I will be able apply to the more complex structure... Thanks!

Very simple mistake. You are wanting to target "elements", ie., , but you were using the '@' syntax, which is used to target an "attribute". Just remove the @ symbols and it will work.

Also, the count is: "{count (/main/org/people/person)}"

That doesn't matter however, as FileMaker ignores that info when it Imports (thankfully).

P.S. If you did want to target an attribute, such as: type="integer", then @type is correct. But there are no useful attributes in your xml.

Thanks Fenton, I am sure I will encounter more hurdles but I appreciate your help in getting me started!
