Question : SQL Recordset from XML data

I have some xml data that i need to return in a specific format and since I have never really worked with XML I am finding myself at a brick wall.

the code samaple currently reruns the following

Model      Black Flash 1873 Watts 240 VoltsBlack Flash 1973 Watts 220 Volts
Acc.       Black Flash Floor Stand

what i need returned is

Model      Black Flash 1873 Watts 240 Volts
Model      Black Flash 1973 Watts 220 Volts
Acc.      Black Flash Floor Stand

Also the number of options/name can vary and the number of sub item under name can also vary so i need this to be very generic in nature and return in the format shown no matter how many nodes are in the xml
