Thanks!  Oh Boy!  :-)

For the repeating of the same XML name tag, I guess one way to do it is to
depend on the higher up XML name tag that group them together.  Chopped them
off and use it somehow.

For ex.
--snip--
<Individual>
 <FirstName>***</FirstName>
</Individual>
<Joint>
 <FirstName>***</FirstName>
</Joint>
--snip--

This may help....  Now I'm going to have to decide on DOM XML or Expat...

Thanks,
  Scott F.
