John- Thanks for the offer, but I figured out the parent thing. It's amazing how much clearer your code becomes when you are not staring at it at 2 in the morning.
I do have a question though, is it possible to append a subset of an xml document gathered by doing xmlSearch to a second xml document object without looping over the results of the xmlSearch? With msxmldom you can use appendChild method to take a subset and append it to another document without looping through the subset and create each part of the subset. I think it's redundant to loop through a subset with MX. I've tried doing ArrayAppend(target.xmlChildren,subset.xmlChildren) and it does not work. Am I missing something?

Let me know what parameter you are searching for (the child) and I will return the parent and or parents for you. (It can also include looking for children with certain attributes... and return the parent. Don't do it often... but it should be very able from my experience... let's see how it works in this appliation though.
