The Xpath I have right now currently only gets the right template. But I need the right element…

//dataTemplateSpecification/templates/template[./elements/element[@name="PopulationPatientID" and @value="198" and @enc="223"]]

I need to xpath to the node that has an attribute named “Active” Is that even possible? I was thinking I might need to drill backwords in the [] section… you know [./../../] where I would be selecting by a finer granularity before then… //dataTemplateSpecification/templates/template/elements/element[./../../] ect.. Does that make sense or am I completely rambling here? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    @royerboat and @Dimitre Novatchev…

    both of you guys had the right idea and it inspired me to get the Xpath that I needed…

    //dataTemplateSpecification/templates/template[./elements/element[@name="PopulationPatientID" and @value="198" and @enc="223"]]//element[@name = 'Active']

    That xpath is precisely what I need. Dimitre, I tried both of your sugestions and they came close, but no cigar. Thanks for the help guys.
