Thanks Jim! Both yours and Terry's suggestions worked, however, Terry's suggestion also selects the node which I wanted to do also so I'm using a combination of both! :o)

>Change your
.ADD('Message1'+'_'+'0000',tvwChild,al3parnt.ckey,TRIM(al3Parnt.cSelf))
line to
oNode = .ADD('Message1'+'_'+'0000',tvwChild,al3parnt.ckey,TRIM(al3Parnt.cSelf))
and then add the line
oNode.Expanded = .T.
after the point where you know its children have been added.
