1) Thank you for replying. I tried your fix - it
doesnt work.
The problem is not with the faulty url (it treats it
as a string so spaces are ok - actually I have fixed
the url in other data).
I am opening the schema file in XML Spy and also the
xml file.
When I make the modification and try to Save, I get
the validation error again. So the problem is *not* at
runtime.
2) I wanted to use XML base because some of the clips
may be stored locally but others may be on a server.
thanks,
Anil
