AFAICT, the problem is with the source XML document - it appears to be cut off in the middle.

Sorry...I was just posting a sample. The XML document does in fact continue, containing 9799 items (or rather sections). Thought a single example might suffice : But it is properly terminated at the end.

Note that this document does import if I use the generic msdso_elem.xsl stylesheet which comes with FMP, so I'm thinking the basic XML is OK. The problem with using that is that it only picks up the "parent" elements (4 fields for each record: classification, marketing_copy, media, and managed_data. I need to get the stuff under those elements.

Can you zip your XSL stylesheet and attach it here? What you posted seems fine to me (apart from some path errors - but those wouldn't cause Filemaker to stop). However, the forum doesn't like XML code, so one cannot be sure.

Here y'go...thanks for the help.

I have no problems importing your source XML (after closing the open tags) using your stylesheet.

Thanks again for all the help - the problem turned out to be a namespace declaration in that top element. For some reason the FMP "msdso_elem.xslt" didn't care about that, but the one I wrote did.
