No problem. :wink:

Can you explain what you mean by 'freeware' in your first post? And you mean XP Pro for the client, yes, as DataStage does not support XP Home.

If you have used the Folder stage with one column passing only the filename and then set the XML Input stage to 'URL/Filepath' the issue is not with the Folder stage. Post your question to your Support provider. I think you'll find the issue is your O/S which has... quirks... with XML, including fun...

Best to stick with English.

There is an option to use a 'User defined stylesheet' so the answer to that question seems pretty obvious - depending on what you mean by 'options'. And from what I recall, the default stylesheet is in your Client install directory.

Yes, just don't expect to be able to 'switch' it. Only the most recently installed version of VC will be usable.

Post your errors. Saying the job "is getting aborted" doesn't help nearly as much as the actual errors. Especially post the log entries that show the end result - the actual command that the job attempted to run.

Because expressions with NULL values always evaluate to FALSE. You need to explicitly test for nulls and handle them accordingly.

A Server lookup does not need a Key field to work, but a hard-coded dummy value will also work.
