Vlad,

I'm a complete noob and is probably missing something when I attempted it by
myself using XMLSPY.
I try to create my XSD in XMLSPY , did an import of the 3rd party XML Schema
in XMLSPY but it is creating a namespace with a prefix ns1 such that the
Schema has the <xs:element ref="ns1:rptTransmit">

However, when my application receives the 3rd party xml, it does not have
the prefix . Hence when I append the XML  file <rptTransmit></rptTransmit>,
will it still be valid even though there is no prefix ns1: as it is defined
in the XSD?

Thanks
Cyril

You need to import the 3rd party's schema into your schema using XSD's
<import> element.  I believe, XSD spec has some examples, perhaps even in
the Primer.
