Intriguing - this isn't a message we see very often. The cases where it can legitimately occur are, for example, where you call the function doc-available() and get false, and then later use the same URI to call document() - even though the situation has changed and the document might now exist, Saxon is obliged to report that it doesn't exist because its answers must be consistent. But you imply that this stylesheet works under XSLT 1.0, so that seems unlikely. The thing that you are doing that's unusual is the use of the -a option, so that's where my suspicions would lie. But I would need to see more detail of what you are doing to diagnose the problem.

Well i'm not using any functions native to saxon. The document function I'm using is the XSLT one. It's the same XSLT i can use for the browser. Do I need to specify the URI resolver with the -r switch? Or is there a default one in use if not declared? Would it make a difference if saxon was not being executed from my C drive? I have tried using saxon without the -a switch and declaring the same stylesheet but still get the same result and error... "Document has been marked not available"

Thanks for the information. Could you please put together a repro: that is, source document, stylesheet, and any other resources needed to reproduce the problem. Thanks. You can mail it privately if you don't want the world to see it - use mike at saxonica dot com.

Turns out i was wrong the whole time. The file did not exist. I misread the filepath. It was reading it as a relative path from the style sheet rather than the XML file. Is there any way to make it relative to the XML file instead of the XSL file?

document('abc.xml', /) will resolve abc.xml relative to the base-uri of '/', which will normally be the source document.
