Don't try it with the new Microsoft product, it doesn't support "preceding".

> for example if i had the following xml document:
> 
> <SALESFORCE>
>      <SALESPERSON NAME="BOB">
>           <CUSTOMER CODE="1">ACME</CUSTOMER>
>           <CUSTOMER CODE="2">BLAMMO</CUSTOMER>
>      </SALESPERSON>
>      <SALESPERSON NAME="TODD">
>           <CUSTOMER CODE="1">ACME</CUSTOMER>
>           <CUSTOMER CODE="3">KABLOOEY</CUSTOMER>
>      </SALESPERSON>
>      <SALESPERSON NAME="BETTY">
>           <CUSTOMER CODE="4">JUICY JUICY</CUSTOMER>
>           <CUSTOMER CODE="2">BLAMMO</CUSTOMER>
>      </SALESPERSON>
> </SALESFORCE>
> 
> I would want to only display:
> 
> ACME
> BLAMMO
> KABLOOEY
> JUICY JUICY
