You will have to bare with me as im a complete novice to querystrings! Let me explain my scenario.

I have a DNN page with the XML module installed. The module is on a page with a url similar to: http://www.mydomain.com/Property/tabid/103/Default.aspx

The data source is set to an external url link to an xml file. An example of this url is: http://www.dezrez.com/drapp/Search.ASP?WCI=XML&WCE=870029.

The '870029' at the end of the url is the reference to a particular property record in xml format. I have my XML transformation page specified and all looks good!

Now, what i want to do on another page on my site is provide a text url link to a property e.g 'Click here to see property number 123456'. When a user clicks this link i want the user to be redirected to my http://www.mydomain.com/Property/tabid/103/Default.aspx page but for the xml to show the appropriate property. So, in this case the XML needs to look at: http://www.dezrez.com/drapp/Search.ASP?WCI=XML&WCE=123456.

Can this be done through some kind of query string passed into the xml module on the page? What i mean is i want the XML source set to http://www.dezrez.com/drapp/Search.ASP?WCI= and then after the '=' sign should be the property reference number. Therefore, the appropriate property is queried and my transformation will output the XML in HTML.

Is this what the XML module can do? If so, how? What querystring do i need to enter and what is the link url i need to create for each of my property links e.g  'Click here to see property number 123456', 'Click here to see property number 654321'.

Please please help! This is baffling me!!!!

Now you can call the page with the XML module inside with the querystring ?PropertyID=123456, and it will grap the source http://www.dezrez.com/drapp/Search.ASP?WCI=XML&WCE=123456.

Hello

I think this will work for me, but I would like some assistance with the background

I wish to go one step back with this scenario. If someone could help, that would be wonderful.

I would like to call a web service based upon user input (from a drop-down list)...

Soooooo,

I expect a user could
1. select a value for (say, WCE, as in the above example), from a drop-down list
2. This is then served up to the page as a querystring. (the page is reloaded)
3. The XML module, much the same as you have configured above, will run

The question I have is, how do I get steps 1 and 2 to run?

Do I need to create a (relatively) simple module which takes input and reserves the page, or is there a simpler, smarter, non-module-developing way to do this where I can define a drop-down input box and a "Search" button?

Thanks
Ian

Either place your "form" onto a text/html module, in module header ort directly inside your XSLT 
It goesn't have to be a get request, it would also work with a postback.

For a get request, define a querystring passthrough param, or use [querystring:paramname] token (->requires xml6) inside your url .
Otherwise you can use the token [form:param] or use a pass through form post param
