Michael,

Thanks for your reply/help. It almost works :-)

I get all the data right through the hierarchy but once I get to elements
that have "children" themselves the placing of the "," doesn't happen. It
seems to limit itself to direct children of the <Vertrag> (for them it works
perfectly!). Here's a subset of the XML & XSL to explain. Within <Mandant> I
don't see the "," between elements and the same for <Partner> and levels
below. For all the others it's fine. Any Idea ?

Sorry to hassle you directly (don't let it put you off replying in the
future :-) ) and thanks for any help in advance.

- Robin
