You have to deal with the namespace. Your xpath is correct except for the wildcard on the namespace prefix, so this works:
<@ELEMENTVALUE myDom xpath='/*:ABRPayloadSearchResults/*:request/*:identifierSearchRequest/*:authenticationGUID'> Note that all the elements are in the namespace, so you need to wildcard them all. In simple XML like this, you can just go straight to the element: <@ELEMENTVALUE myDom xpath='//*:authenticationGUID'> In the case of this XML, there is a default namespace being setup by this portion of the root node: xmlns="http://abr.business.gov.au/ABRXMLSearchRPC/literalTypes"; Since it's the default (it's unnamed) you use the wildcard *: to look for any namespace. TS7 doesn't really have namespace interaction, so it's best to do that for everything. In theory, a named namespace and a prefixed element should work in TS xpath. So, if you don't want to bother with the wildcards, you can @REPLACE that portion of the root element with nothing before you @DOM the XML, then your xpaths would work as you originally had them.
