Thanks all for your answer and interess !
David I totally agree with
" ITEM[1] selects the first ITEM
ITEM[.=1] selects all ITEMs with string value numerically equal to 1."
It's just that I tried Pieter's suggestion ...unsuccessfully.

"In sarissa i implement the selectSingleNode by appending '[1]' to the
xpath expression then calling selectNodes. Maybe MSXML's implementation
has the same flaw ;-)"
I actually append '[1]' (or generaly '[n]' n>0) to my Xpath before apply the
SelectSingleNode method and this precisely this '[n]' which make my parser
not matching anynode !
My Xpath expression work perfectly if I put it within a <xsl:value-of> in an
XSL file applied to my XML but when I put it in SelectSingleNode () within
an asp page (see my last mail) it do not work...
So it's not an Xpath problem, the question is why a correct Xpath expression
don't work with SelectSingleNode () ?
Is it a bug, an exeption ?
The MSDN spec about SelectSingleNode say :
"var objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNode.selectSingleNode(queryString);
Where queryString is a string specifying an XPath expression."
Isn't "ITEM[2]" a correct XPath expression ?!
(PS : I'm sure my oXMLDOMNode as 2 ITEM childrens)
This question is more about DOM method implementation, so maybe it shouldn't
be posted hier ?
sorry if so.
But anyway if someone have a solution, I'll be gratefull to him ;)

do you wrap the expression in () before appending [1] (you need to)
(/a/b/c)[1]
will select at most 1 node
/a/b/c[1]
will select all c nodes that are the first child of a b.
Now that you mention it...
