Hi all--

I am trying to execute the following query in MS SQL Server 2000.

SELECT 1 AS Tag, NULL as parent,
'x' AS [A!1!B],
NULL AS [C!48],
NULL AS [RepurchaseDetails!49]

UNION ALL

SELECT 48, 1,
NULL, 'y', NULL

UNION ALL

SELECT 49, 48,
NULL, NULL, 'z'

ORDER BY
TAG ASC

FOR XML EXPLICIT

I get the error:

Server: Msg 6806, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Undeclared tag ID 49 is used in a FOR XML EXPLICIT query.

However if I change the tag RepurchaseDetails to RepurchaseDetailzzz
the query works just fine. It however still fails for
RepurchaseDetailz, or RepurchaseDetailzz

Any ideas???
