In a message dated 01/11/2002 14:49:02 GMT Standard Time, helen.mauger@r... writes: I have a stock element. This element has several child elements eg Currency, number and name. My problem is that I want (if possible to allow a choice re the type_of_stock. I want to limit it to either Equity or Bond - I have found two ways of doing this - either using enumeration or patterns. I have no preference as to which. However if they select BOND I want to force the user to input further elements eg the Interest_rate. Helen, The <xsd:choice> is worth looking at. Something like, <xsd:choice> <xsd:element name="Equity" ... /> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="Bond" ... /> <xsd:element name="Interest_Rate" .../> <!-- Whatever else you want to include with Bond --> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:choice> Andrew Watt
