    <p>How about using some simple XPATH to get the requested values?</p> <p><code>//Link[1]/node()</code> - selects the first "Link" node from the whole document, and then selects the first child node of any kind. It just happens that the first child node is the unnamed node containing the actual <code>https</code> link.</p> <p>Assuming the XML document is loaded into <code>Doc: TXMLDocument</code>, you can extract the Link with this code:</p> <pre><code>(Doc.DOMDocument as IDomNodeSelect).selectNode('//Link[1]/node()').nodeValue </code></pre> <p>You can find some documentation about XPath <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms256086.aspx" rel="noreferrer">reading those XPath Examples on MSDN</a>. You might find better documentation <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/XPath/xpath_syntax.asp" rel="noreferrer">at w3schools</a>. And to top it all up, here's a simple (but complete) console application that uses XPath to extract and display the 3 requested values:</p> <pre><code>program Project14; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} uses SysUtils, Xmldoc, xmldom, ActiveX; var X: TXMLDocument; Node: IDOMNode; Sel: IDomNodeSelect; begin try CoInitialize(nil); X := TXMLDocument.Create(nil); try // Load XML from a string constant so I can include the exact XML sample from this // question into the code. Note the "SomeNode" node, it's required to make that XML // valid. X.LoadFromXML( '&lt;SomeNode&gt;'+ ' &lt;Link role="self"&gt;' + ' https://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/dataflows/Geocode/jobid' + ' &lt;/Link&gt;' + ' &lt;Status&gt;Aborted&lt;/Status&gt;' + ' &lt;ErrorMessage&gt;The data uploaded in this request was not valid.&lt;/ErrorMessage&gt;' + '&lt;/SomeNode&gt;' ); // Shortcut: Keep a reference to the IDomNodeSelect interface Sel := X.DOMDocument as IDomNodeSelect; // Extract and WriteLn() the values. Painfully simple! WriteLn(Sel.selectNode('//Link[1]/node()').nodeValue); WriteLn(Sel.selectNode('//Status[1]/node()').nodeValue); WriteLn(Sel.selectNode('//ErrorMessage[1]/node()').nodeValue); ReadLn; finally X.Free; end; except on E: Exception do Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message); end; end. </code></pre>

    2. CONow I don't have to worry to recursively search for elements in a xml file. I can use a query to get what I want! Thanks.

    3. COWith XPath you need to be extremely careful which Microsoft DOM is installed. Old versions only partially support the XPath languages, and use a different offset for the first element in an array. And when you use the generic GUID to get the underlying DOM objects (which most code does), you don't know which DOM version you get. I have been bitten by this at a few clients where they promised to get a fully up-to-date testing system, which was only a plain vanilla Windows 2003 box without updates.

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.
