<div>
this should do: 
<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-39903492-1">declare @xml xml 
set @xml = '&lt;CaseInception xmlns=&quot;http://www.smith.com/schemas/catch/bft&quot; CaseTarget=&quot;C3&quot;&gt;
 &lt;IM3eBasic&gt;
 &lt;Client&gt;
 &lt;Source&gt;001-001-34&lt;/Source&gt;
 &lt;/Client&gt; &lt;/IM3eBasic&gt;&lt;/CaseInception&gt;'

;WITH XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT 'http://www.smith.com/schemas/catch/bft')
select x.value('.', 'varchar(100)') v
from @xml.nodes('//Source') as T(X)
 --, @xml.value('//Source/*', 'varchar(100)')
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
;with XMLNAMESPACES ( 
&nbsp;'<a href="http://www.smith.com/schemas/catch/bft'" rel="ugc">http://www.smith.com/schemas/catch/bft'</a> as ms 
&nbsp; ) 
 
select 
&nbsp; &nbsp;c.query('data(./ms:source)') 
from 
&nbsp; &nbsp;( 
&nbsp; &nbsp; select XMLCOL from table 
&nbsp; &nbsp;) A1 (x) 
&nbsp; &nbsp;cross apply x.nodes('/ms:CaseInception/ms:IM3eBasic/ms:Client') XMLTABLE(c) 
 
 
 
My xpath might be off but that's the general approach.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;/Client&gt; 
 
I want to extract the &lt;Soucrce&gt; value from this (in this case) 001-001-34 from the xml 
 
How would I do this?
