Ok, it might well the case. I thought the naming collection was done automatically. So, it might be normal I get an error when I try this. But, as you say, if it is only the immediate children then I will be better with what I have right now.

BTW, isn't the syntax ThisForm.TreeView.Nodes(lnindex).Count instead?
