Hi again,
I am obviously not so bright. I have tried to apply
many of the code samples, and keep getting an error
along the lines of "xsl:for-each-group not permitted at
this position in the XSL".

Here is what my xml looks like:
------------------------------
<Response>
<Record>
<Field FieldName="COUNTRY">France</Field>
<Field FieldName="COUNTRY">USA</Field>
<Field FieldName="HEADLINE">Blah, blah, blah</Field>
...More XML omitted goes here...
</Record>
</Response>

As mentioned, I used a simple xsl sheet that includes

<xsl:template match="Field">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:template>

(HTML omitted)

This results in a table with one row per Field. When
there is more than one instance of a field/attribute, I
would like to only have one row. So, in this case, I
would have "France, USA" on one row in my table instead
of across 2 rows.

I would appreciate a little direction if possible.

Thanks

JIM
