Thanks Nutan, The product ID's in this case were "loaded" as ' product_id="120320" ' (my single quotes) in accordance with the XML specification for attribute / value pairs. The suggested syntax ( xindice xpath -c /db/vp -q "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'VPU-1001']" ) is still not working (see original posting).
