How to find exact node in XML document without knowing full path

[watarski]

I am 3 days into my XML education. I am currently trying to use XML documentation with Visual Basic 6 for file I/O (I am using MSXML 4.0). I am having trouble finding the appropriate method that will allow me to search the tree for the desired node/element without having to know the exact path. I have been told to check out SAX, but am still having difficulty. If anyone knows of any parsing code samples I could find, that would be great. Any help is appreciated-
Thanks,
Craig

A valid XPath statement would be

//foo

And will find all <foo> elements in the document. So you end up with a list of elements if there are more than one in the document. So to get to a specific element of many you have to have some means of determining that.
