Actually, the result I showed that I was looking for, was incorrect. Sorry.
What I wanted the last set to look like was:
<form xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<sectionNumber>0</sectionNumber>
<primary>false</primary>
<formName>1004_05</formName> <-------- Want it to
look like this.
<tagName>GR_AGE.1</tagName>
<flags>1</flags>
<format>4096</format>
<value>4 Yrs.</value>
</form>
and I realize oneof my mistakes was that I don't want "name", but "@name".
Would I change you line to:
<xsl:value-of select="ancestor::form[primary='true']/@name"/>

I will.
I only have the O'Reilly book (Learning XSLT).

That doesn't seem to work either.
I changed the "choose" section of the <formName> part to:
<formName>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="ancestor::form/@name = '1007'">
<xsl:value-of select="ancestor::form[primary='true']/@name"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="ancestor::form/@name"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</formName>
but I am still getting
<formName></formName>

I also tried:

and
<xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::form[primary='true']/@name"/>
and the VS 2005 QuickWatch shows the result as {Dimension:[0]}. Not sure
what that means but I assume it means it found nothing.

ancestor::form/@name gives me 1007, as it should. But I need to look at all
the forms on the same level and get the one that has @primary = 'true' and
use the @name of that form.
Is this the wrong way to get that?
Seems pretty straight forward.
I assume the pattern in:
<xsl:value-of select="ancestor::form[@primary='true']/@name"/>
says to look for all the ancestor "form" tags and look at the one that one.
I did notice that I had primary set in my program without the "@". But even
after changing it to the above is not working.

I have not looked in detail at your stylesheet, whether the above will
do the same depends on the 'tag' element you apply it on.

The ancerstor axis includes all ancestor nodes so for instance for the
<tag name="GR_AGE.1" flags="1" format="4096">4 Yrs.</tag>
in the sample cited above these are a 'section' element, a 'form'
element, a 'data' element, an 'appraisal' element, an 'Report' element,
and the document node. ancestor::form then only the selects the 'form'
element nodes on the axis which in that example is a single 'form' element.

Yes.

It explictly selects the first of that union my sample selects.

With xsl:value-of in XSLT 1.0 you do not need the [1], even if there are
several elements found. I put it in because I did not know whether the
XPath might find several 'form' elements and wanted to make it clear
that only one should be selected for output.

I decided to keep it in myself to remind myself that there could be a set
and not just one result.
That explains a lot.
