Can I switch off validation of the XML document to be transformed, when using the XSLT transformation action?

It´s possible when reading from an XML file.

Thx for any help!

Hi Ralf,   
  
 Use the ‘XML Document Define’ action and disable ‘Validate document when parsing’ on the ‘MSXML Parser’ tab, then use that document in the ‘Transform XML’ action.   
  
 Regards,   
 Paul.

Thx for this tip, Paul!

I´ll try it out. And I learned a bit more in general about the FB programming philosophy with its definition actions.
