When I perform the import I don't get any errors, the field names show up correctly in the import dialogue, but there are no records to be imported. Basically it's importing a found set of "0". My gut is telling me it's because I have the "xsl:for-each select" value formatted incorrectly, but I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated.

it works fine for me: 2 records are imported and populated.

HAH!, ok, techniquely my example worked for me too. And I've discovered why. The original XML that I'm importing makes a "xmlns=" declaration within the first element like this:

<ItemFeedResponse xmlns="http://[url of webservices]">

I had removed that attribute in my post just incase it violated any information agreements. Apparently the removal of that attribute makes everything work. So now my question is, assuming that the attribute will be in there, what would I need to change in my XSL to work with that?

Let's say it's:

<ItemFeedResponse xmlns="http://yourwebservice.com">

You need to declare the namespace in your stylesheet and assign it a prefix, say "svc":

<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0'

xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'

xmlns:svc='http://yourwebservice.com'

exclude-result-prefixes='svc'>

Now you need to use the prefix when you address the elements of the XML documents:

...

<xsl:for-each select="svc:ItemFeedResponse/svc:FeedResult/svc:ItemOut">

<ROW MODID="" RECORDID="">

<COL><DATA><xsl:value-of select="svc:ItemId" /></DATA></COL>

<COL><DATA><xsl:value-of select="svc:ItemAvailability/svc:ItemStatus/@code" /></DATA></COL>

...

And it works! I actually had to remove the declaration from the individual elements to get it to work. Having just within the namespace works just fine. Thanks
