Thanks Michael and Anne T. Just to consolidate my understanding about namespaces I think this is where I was confused. In my XML Data when there is no namespace prefix in the xml tag (for <rptTransmit/>), doesn't it use the default namespace? I figured since my default namespace has no definition of any element called rptTransmit, this would be invalid. I saw from your example you use a reference eg ref="foo:rptTransmit" or ref="i:rptTransmit" with the prefix , should this prefix appear in the XML Data I am creating ie <foo:rptTransmit> instead of just <rptTransmit>? Or is the latter valid? I'm having trouble understanding how the parser would know that the <rptTransmit> is from the external XSD since it has no prefix for the namespace.
