Well, thanks for the effort, but it doesn't work. and the reason is due to the a problem i think related to when or how i am calling my 'new TreeNode', as i am only replacing the text of the previous node with the 'next' nodes text. so in other words when i get to the point of adding new subnodes i only end up with one node. if you care to see my original code look here:[^] This is how i modified my orginal code to receive these results: //if (ParentNode.Nodes.Contains(DeptNode)) if (rootNode == DeptNode.Text) { //if (ModNode.Tag == DeptNode.Tag) if (modelTag == rootTag) { //if (DeptNode.Nodes.Contains(ModNode)) if (modelNode == ModNode.Text) { if (ModNode.Nodes.Contains(TelNode)) //if (telNodex == TelNode.Text) :-D :laugh: ;p :^) :sigh:

hey, yah, as simple as it was, that was the solution.... why is it easier to think of the hard(or complicated) solutions before thinking of the simple ones? must just be me.... :confused: :-D :laugh: ;p :^) :sigh:
