the data comes from the DB? I have resaerched all over on the internet but
have not gotten an appropriate explaination. It tells me to use '&' but
this data comes from the DB, how can i pick all '&' and trasform them in to
'&'.
Please assist, it's this discussion i mostly rely on in terms of knowledge

I have a database driven intranet which uses XSLT to format
the XML files. it crashes when it encounters '&'. How can i
stop this from happening?
Change the software that's generating the XML so that the XML it
produces is well-formed.

What kind of database, you use? Because almost all the databases support
programming languages (like c, plsql, etc.), which can extend possibilities
of its queries.. So, if you have rights to your db, you can easily overwrite
the appropriate queries: you should change all of the occurences of the & to
&#ord(&);.
