Hello Burke, thanks for the reply, I used the word file but I don't 
actually build a file, sorry. What i should have said is that I want to 
build an array of five XML requests , populating each request with the 
data from an existing array of five items that will be passed as an 
argument. Does that sound clearer and make more sense?

Thanks for your help.
