Joerg,
Thanks for your timely reply.  I understand you technique but that puts an
entire duplicate<MessageID>...</MessageID> following the current
<MessageID>...</MessageID>
I need just of copy of the element <MessageID> following the source
<MessageID> and </Message> following the source </MessageID>
Sorry I wasn't very clear.

Hello Lynda,

hmm, I are copying in the wrong way. From the root context you are 
copying everything, you should copy node by node. You can read at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#copying how identity transformation can look like:

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Then you only need to add further template matching on <MessageID/> and 
say there, that you want to have it twice in the output:

<xsl:template match="MessageID">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg
