I have the following xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CATALOG>
	<MANUFACTURER>Adler
		<BIKE>
			<MODEL>100 M</MODEL>
			<CC>100</CC>
			<YEAR>ALL</YEAR>
			<BATTERY>B39-6</BATTERY>
		</BIKE>
		<BIKE>
			<MODEL>250 M</MODEL>
			<CC>250</CC>
			<YEAR>ALL</YEAR>
			<BATTERY>B39-6</BATTERY>
		</BIKE>
	</MANUFACTURER>
	<MANUFACTURER>Aermacchi
		<BIKE>
			<MODEL>125 SX</MODEL>
			<CC>125</CC>
			<YEAR>ALL</YEAR>
			<BATTERY>12N7-3B</BATTERY>
		</BIKE>
		<BIKE>
			<MODEL>175 SX</MODEL>
			<CC>175</CC>
			<YEAR>ALL</YEAR>
			<BATTERY>12N7-3B</BATTERY>
		</BIKE>
		<BIKE>
			<MODEL>Ala</MODEL>
			<CC>250</CC>
			<YEAR>ALL</YEAR>
			<BATTERY>6N11A-1B</BATTERY>
		</BIKE>
	</MANUFACTURER>
</CATALOG>[/code:e9510poa]

What I have is a listbox that is populated by Manufacturer when the app runs.
Example: 
Manufacturers:
   Adler
   Aermacchi
   etc.

What I'm trying to do is an event that populates a second list box based on the selected manufacturer.
Example, user selects Adler
Bikes:
   100 M
   250 M

Have tried all sorts but cant get the bikes list to do anything.

I'm not sure what the problem is... however I have an XML construct that looks like the following. The trick is that I have my "base" node (in your case this would be manufacturer. I think that selection criteria is what you're missing. I may not be doing it right.. but hopefully it helps.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<player>

<base id="1001">

<name>test123</name>

...

...

you can find the id of the node as follows when using the loop "for each node "/player/base"

node_id = XML_PLAYER.StringValue("@id")

and then you can select based on that

name = XML_PLAYER.StringValue("/player/base[@id=" & node_id /name/text()")
