Dean,
Because the first xml doc has a <subMenu> parent node for
<menuItems> underneath
The Xpath pointed to the parent node and thus your code works fine.
For Each nChild In xmlSubMenuNode.ChildNodes
nChildForNew = xmlSubMenu.ImportNode(nChild, True)
rootNode.AppendChild(nChildForNew)
Next
vs
'nChildForNew = xmlSubMenu.ImportNode(xmlSubMenuNode.FirstChild., True)
'rootNode.AppendChild(nChildForNew)
But, for learning's sake, I would like to see an alternative method
which would allow me to use ImportNode instead of doing the For each
.... if possible.
The importNode method only takes a xmlnode as a parameter and not a
xmlnodelist. This prevents me from passing a nodelist of <menuItems>
which could be changed in the code above by using SelectNodes instead
of SelectSingleNode.

Glad to see you're expanding the Fiala clan and that the son will have
a younger sister to "fight" with. I wonder if "he/she" will have "hoop
dreams" like dear ole Dad ?
Not planning any visit but you never know...
Dean, keep up the good work and thanks, Paul
