| The MSDN page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175972.aspx) has a sample very similar to what you are looking for, although it traverses from root to leaf - opposite of what you are looking for. Slight tweak to that query will work for you - if you can post your current query, it would be easy enough for someone on this forum to offer suggestions. |
