Indeed!!!! Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello, I have the following xml <XMLDataPersistence> <Duration>30</Duration> <HistoryFields> <Id> <Mandatory>True</Mandatory> <Modifiable>True</Modifiable> <Type>Text</Type> </Id> </HistoryFields></XMLDataPersistence> I am able to query upon duration as selectNodes("//XMLDataPersistence[Duration=30]") which gives coresponding XMLDataPersistence node. But similarly if I try to query selectNodes("//XMLDataPersistence/HistoryFields/Id[Mandatory=True]") does not return anything. But selectNodes("//XMLDataPersistence/HistoryFields/Id") or selectNodes("//XMLDataPersistence/HistoryFields/Id/Mandatory") returns respective nodes. I can then compare each mandatory node's text but ideally I would like the search do it for me.I even tried to get the HistoryFields nodes and do selectNodes("//Id[Mandatory=True]"); - no luck - returns nothing.Any help will be much appreciated.
