Hi, thanks for the reply. However, that didn't work either. It works as soon as I remove all the other definitions (xmlns:xsi, xsi:schemaLocation and xmlns) from the MASTER.DATA (or MASTERDATA) but as soon as they are in the file it goes completely blank. I don't get any errors, I just don't find anything. Regarding removing the dot (MASTER.DATA) it's probably not possible, this file gets sent automatically from one of our back end systems. :sigh: Wexelblats algorithm: Pick two: 1. Good, 2. Fast, 3.
