In order to select the "impact_text" element regardless of the hierarchy of the document you have to use a more generic XPath pattern like: <cfset selectedElements = #xmlSearch(myXMLdoc,"//impact_text")#> Just keep in mind that such a generic pattern require much more resources than a specific one that rely on a fixed hierarchy like the examples Matt posted before BTW If you are serious about XML in CF a good understanding of XPath can make your life much easier.
