Hi Rob,
Could you provide us with a self-contained example? The following example code works as expected:
store:read('x'), delete node <a/>
Best, Christian

Hello Christian,
Allthough the store:read function returns an empty sequense I found that it still triggers the error: 'expressions must all be updating ....', when used within an updating function.
I guess this error is unnecesary. The workaround is quite easy by using a void function[1]
[1] store:read( $name) => void()
mvgr.
