I've had several people tell me this wasn't possible, but it seems like such a common-sense feature that I thought I'd ask here. I have an element that has four attributes associated w/ it and no TEXT value. I want to set the value of that element to a concatenation of the four attributes. As an example: <FullName FirstName="Brian" LastName="Popp"/> and I want this to display: Brian Popp I've considered using elements instead of attributes, but in this case I need to default some of the values, so attributes seem a little cleaner. In many of the EDD's I've looked at, they use a series of nasty conditionals to insert the attribute values into the text (as opposed to just referencing the actual attribute somehow). In my case, I could have hundreds of values in each attribute, so this is obviously undesirable. Are these my only two options? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Brian
