Excellent Joreg......thanks a million.

Thanks again

Hello Kenneth,

you can pass parameters to the stylesheet. In your case for example the
number of the first element to show in the list:

<xsl:param name="first" select="1"/>
<xsl:param name="count" select="50"/>

 > <xsl:template match="DATALIST">
 > <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0">
 > <tr>
 >   <td width="135"><u><font color="green">Company</font></u></td>
 >   <td width="330"><u><font color="green">Address </font></u></td>
 >   <td width="100"><u><font color="green">Phone </font></u></td>
 > <td width="100"></td>
 > </tr>
 >   <xsl:apply-templates select="customer"/>

changed to:
<xsl:apply-templates select="customer[position() >= $first][position()
&lt;= $count]"/>

 > </table>
 > </xsl:template>
>
> <xsl:template match="customer">
>
> <tr>
> <td valign="top"><a><xsl:attribute name="href">
> adminViewCompanyByID?companyid=<xsl:value-of select="id"/>
&#38;companyname
> =<xsl:value-of select="invoicename"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select
="
> invoicename"/></a></td>
> <td valign="top"><xsl:value-of select="invoiceaddress"/></td>
> <td valign="top"><xsl:value-of select="phone"/></td>
> </tr>
> </xsl:template>
