Ah yes, but that "long form" does NOT include the trailing /, and that's why it works, while simply /[descendant-or-self::node()]/ does not. Try the long form you quote above, but tack an extra slash on it and see if it still works.

The long form, "/descendant-of-self::node()" will work in MSXML, again using the XPath DOM querying methods.
Ah yes, but that "long form" does NOT include the trailing /, and that's why it works, while simply /[descendant-or-self::node()]/ does not. Try the long form you quote above, but tack an extra slash on it and see if it still works.
