I want to list the child pages of the parent but don't want to go any further e.g
Parent---->Child
But with the code below I get.
Parent---->Child---->Grandchild---->Great Grandchild etc...
<?php
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>Could someone help me out please.
Try the "depth" parameter:

How exactly would I use the depth parameter?

As explained on the link provided by renato...

If I use depth though, it shows all of the pages at that depth but I just want the child pages of the current page.
Try this:
<?php
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0&depth=1');
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

when I try that it shows all of the child pages but also all of the grandchild pages which I don't want.

would I be able to use exclude= in any way?
if I use this code it shows me only the first level of childs -no grandchilds - I've tested this the last 2minutes ;)
but you can't copy and paste this code because the & get to &...
<?php
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0&depth=1');
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

what do you mean you can't copy and paste?

oh I see what you mean. It does work but it still lists the grandchild pages.
The forum software changes & to & a m p;, so you can't copy and paste the code.

this is driving me crazy, can anyone please help.
Okay not sure what's driving you nuts but will take the code Monika posted and put it here:
http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1430169
For further understanding please review:
wp_list_pages() <- this article in particular has example and definitions you may want to undestand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know how to change the & to & but renato/monika's code doesn't do what I want. It shows all of the pages at that depth even the ones not under the current parent.
What I need is code that I can put into my page template that only shows the 1st level of child pages under the current parent.
That's what the "depth=" parameter is for.
Okay I'm missed what you said there--please paste your complete template code at wordpress.pastebin.ca and report the link back here.

Didn't test anything but right off line 13 in that pastebin is wrong (due to the fact you copied code that the forum goofed up)
That line 13 should be:
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0&depth=1');
