Jenni, 

Thanks so much for your help.

This one didn't seem to work, It threw a SAXException with the message:

* XSL Error: pattern = 'date[generate-id(.) = 
*		generate-id(key('thedate',.)[../@name = current()/@name][1])]'
* The current() function is not allowed in a match pattern!, 
*		source tree node: date
( indentation and *'s added by me )

This is working.  Again thank you kindly.
