I haven't kept your XML file and it was pretty impenetrable anyway, but the
above is looking for a <Project> element that has a child ProjectName and an
attribute ProjectName, both of which are equal to each other - which would
seem an unlikely condition. I suspect one of these (either the child or the
attribute) should be prefixed as "current()/", but I don't understand your
data well enough to be sure. Send us a simplified version.
