If you request a transformation, you get one. If the result document already exists, it is overwritten. Michael Kay

yes, of course.... I was more thinking of relating the creation/modified date of source xml with result document....if they were equal then one could skip processing.....perhaps an optional commandline switch option.... thx, Jim Fuller

I think it's important to avoid the software becoming too monolithic. This kind of functionality belongs at the next level up, in some kind of content management application or a tool such as Ant. Michael Kay
