The Relative argument only makes sense when adding nodes and if you are
adding nodes then you will know
what the Relative is you are adding to, so I don't quite understand the
question.

Maybe this will get you on the right track.

Sub test()

Dim oNode As Node

For Each oNode In MainForm.TreeView1.Nodes
If oNode.Text = "testing" Then
MsgBox oNode.Previous Is Nothing, , "child node?"
Exit For
End If
Next oNode

End Sub

I know tha the properties of a TreeView node are as seen below:

TreeView1.Add(Relative, Relationship, Key, Text)

How do I extract the Relative Property if I know the Text Property? That
is
I know a specific node has a text property of "X". I want to use this to
identify the node and back out the relative property.

Thanks
