Hi,

 Robby: Thanks for the replies re multiple entries, and re file:// urls. 

I have been reading up on XML and XSLT etc. and understand a bit better
what is happening in Tellico. (But I do not yet understand how it
happens.) 

My main remaining problems (I hope) are how to attach a caption to each
image, and how to access reports once I have created templates for them. 

If I understand the xml files correctly, Tellico only writes a
rather flat file with nodes under each collection entry -- the only
child nodes are those resulting from the semicolon-separated lists where
multiple items are allowed and the parts of dates. Is there any way in
Tellico to add child nodes in general? I would like to add optional
captions to images, and perhaps a sequence number too.

I have drafted a preliminary collection by importing data from an xls. I
now intend to explore how to generate the various reports I need. The
reports I have found in Tellico seem to be only lists of the contents of
one field. Is it possible to add other reports that I create to the menus?

TIA for any guidance.

Cordially,

richard
