Hi. I in-elegantly posted a week ago without attaching my files. This time the files are attached. It's basically an XML order with buyer info and items ordered. I've also attached an XSL file that doesn't quite work.

I've perused this forum for examples, but none are structured similar to my xml.

I'm importing an XML response containing one record (buyer data), and varying number of child records (order items). The child records ('vendor bookid') is located in a portal within the db layout.

So far, the first field ('email') imports successfully, but the rest doesn't.

In addition, filemaker creates a new record whereas I want to import into the record open on my page.

And finally, I want to import the child records. The relating field would be an orderID in from the db, not from the xml response. I haven't gotten to this last step yet, still trying to get the basic buyer data right.

I thought this was answered here:

Why start a new thread with the same issue?

Actually, no, the issue isn't the same.

The previous thread asked for help constructing an XSL.

After perusing other XML posts and studying their files, I've cobbled together an XSL but it doesn't work well.

This thread is asking for insight on why the XSL isn't working, and how to avoid new record creation - I want to import into current record in FM.
