Re: Trouble using recursion to make a Counter

I agree with the others.  I think you should reconsider your data.
This probably isn't your real data, but if it is it seems odd to have 
level 2 description/id within a level 3 element.

            <Level3>
                  <Level2Desc>Condo</Level2Desc>
                  <Level2ID>1001</Level2ID>
            </Level3>
