complex xpath
Here is what I came up with but it is not working:
/root/recordset[@rsName='Codes']/record[field[@fieldName='Section']=2][field
[@fieldName='ID'] =
number(recordset[@rsName='Memberships']/record[1]/field[@fieldName='RefEntry
ActivityID'])]

If I replace the number(...) portion on the right of the ='s, with 2913, I
get what I am looking for.
Any more ideas?

Karl..

The comparison between two nodesets is a little bit different than the
comparison between a
nodeset and a number, so i suggest to try like:
recordset[@rsName='Codes']/record[field[@fieldname='Section']='2'][field[@fi
eldname='ID']
 =
number(recordset[@rsName='Memberships']/record[1]/field[@fieldname='RefEntry
ActivityID'])]
