    <p>I'm having some issues extracting values from some XML using VBA in Excel 2007. Here is a sample of what the data looks like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;work_order xmlns="http://www.sample.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sample.com" id=""&gt; &lt;link rel="self" type="application/xml" href="http://www.sample.com"/&gt; &lt;work_order_info&gt;...&lt;/work_order_info&gt; &lt;entry_info&gt;...&lt;/entry_info&gt; &lt;posting_info&gt;...&lt;/posting_info&gt; &lt;instructions&gt;...&lt;/instructions&gt; &lt;address_info&gt;...&lt;/address_info&gt; &lt;crew_time&gt; &lt;confirm_date&gt;04 Dec 2013&lt;/confirm_date&gt; &lt;minutes_required&gt;100&lt;/minutes_required&gt; &lt;/crew_time&gt; &lt;wo_products&gt; &lt;wo_product&gt; &lt;product_description&gt;pants&lt;/product_description&gt; &lt;/wo_product&gt; &lt;wo_product&gt; &lt;product_description&gt;shirt&lt;/product_description&gt; &lt;/wo_product&gt; &lt;wo_product&gt; &lt;product_description&gt;shoes&lt;/product_description&gt; &lt;/wo_product&gt; &lt;wo_product&gt; &lt;product_description&gt;hat&lt;/product_description&gt; &lt;/wo_product&gt; &lt;wo_product&gt; &lt;product_description&gt;DPSB1&lt;/product_description&gt; &lt;/wo_product&gt; &lt;/wo_products&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>What I need to do is loop through each of the wo_product nodes and get the product_description. What I have so far is:</p> <pre><code>Dim nodeList As IXMLDOMNodeList Dim node As IXMLDOMNode Dim oXMLDoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument Set oXMLDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument oXMLDoc.async = False oXMLDoc.Load "http://www.sample.com" Set nodeList = oXMLDoc.SelectNodes("/work_order/wo_products/wo_product") For Each node In nodeList Dim description As String description = node.SelectSingleNode("//product_description").Text MsgBox (description) Next node </code></pre> <p>It loops through 5 times, but the message box says "pants" every time. Any ideas?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
