How to reference duplicate Node Names

I have an XML file that literally has hundreds of child nodes that have the same name.
I am need to update a few of them with values.
The child nodes look like this:

Code:

---

<GA>
        <GASM>
                <GASMT>Single Family</GASMT>
                <GSSMEx>0</GSSMEx>
                <GASMf>0</GASMf>
        </GASM>
        <GASM>
                <GASMT>1956</GASMT>
                <GSSMEx>0</GSSMEx>
                <GASMf>0</GASMf>
        </GASM>
        <GASM>
                <GASMT>Standard Home Inspection</GASMT>
                <GSSMEx>0</GSSMEx>
                <GASMf>0</GASMf>
        </GASM>
        <GASM>
                <GASMT>Occupied</GASMT>
                <GSSMEx>0</GSSMEx>
                <GASMf>0</GASMf>
        </GASM>
        <GASM>
                <GASMT>Overcast</GASMT>
                <GSSMEx>0</GSSMEx>
                <GASMf>0</GASMf>
        </GASM>
        <GASM>
                <GASMT>Wood-Destroying Insect</GASMT>
                <GSSMEx>0</GSSMEx>
                <GASMf>0</GASMf>
        </GASM>
</GA>

I figured out that I need to get a node list. There are 8 in the node list. I am using:
Set objNodeList = DOM.documentElement.SelectNodes("//Report/templatehma/genInfo/GA/GASM/GASMT")

This produces the typed value for each node"
MsgBox objNodeList.Item(0 through 7).nodeTypedValue

However, when I try to create a single node to update the nodes, the first node is updated, EG
Set Node = DOM.SelectSingleNode("//" & objNodeList.Item(1 through 7).nodeName) references the first node, which is item(0)

How do I reference each node other than the first node?

Thanks for your help

What's wrong with

Code:

---

Set objNodeList = DOM.documentElement.SelectNodes( _
  "//Report/templatehma/genInfo/GA/GASM/GASMT" _
  )

Set first = objNodeList( 0 )

---

Or, using XPath:

Code:

---

Set objSingle = DOM.documentElement.SelectSingleNode( _
  " . / descendant-or-self:: Report / templatehma / genInfo / GA / GASM / GASMT [ 1 ] " _
  )

---

Please note my expansion of the "//" token which does not mean the root of the document!

Using the "descendant-or-self" axis tells XPath to find [a set of] Nodes with the given Node Name anywhere in the document, regardless of the intervening structure. You could just as easily (and, IMHO, wrongly, say):

Code:

---

Set objSingle = DOM.documentElement.SelectNodes( _
  " . / descendant-or-self:: GASMT " _
  )

How do you know which GASMT nodes need to be updated?

Phil,
Thanks very much.
Your first example was what I was able to make work.
The "Meat" of the fix is the line : Set Node = objNodeList(N) where N is the item I need to reference.
The line I was using was from a different project of mine where I needed to set attributes.

Mark,
Right now, I am just going by the order in which they appear. I dont see any specific code that indicates which node is which.
Phil's answer works for me.
Thanks
