Sorry, I looked a little more closely at your example. I didn't realize
you were searching the Node's text. Instead of recursing the tree, just do
a For Each ... Next on the Tree's Nodes collection.

See if this doesn't work.

Dim oNode As Node
    
For Each oNode In tvw.Nodes
    iFindPos = InStr(1, SiblingNode.Text, strTerm, vbTextCompare)
    If iFindPos > 0 Then
        oNode.Selected = True
        Exit For
    End If
Next oNode
