Calvin,

>>Is there an easy way in VB Script to do the VFP STRTRAN function?

You can use VB's Replace() function. An example of its use can be found at: http://www.example-code.com/vb/stringReplace.asp

As an aside, you can also run VBScript directly in Visual FoxPro using the MS Script control. I wrote a FAQ on this you can look at here: http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=4257

Thanks Craig for the Replace hint and the pointer to the excellent sample of the MS Script control!

Note that you would need to convert the amphersands after the < and > characters to avoid converting a deliberate &lt; to <

Like so:
<pre>
cTrans = Replace(cTrans,">",">",1,-1)
cTrans = Replace(cTrans,"<","<",1,-1)
cTrans = Replace(cTrans,"&","&",1,-1)
</pre>

Calvin:

I am trying to pass a variable from my VFP form to xsl, e.g.

m.pos=5

I want to use m.pos to limit my node search and transformation. Is there a way to use VFP code in XSL to do this kind of function? Thanks.
