prevent it.  Otherwise, it may be the syntax of the file: URL.  Try some of
the normal variations, like

file:///c:\servers\mserver\ojamc2vpt1_part.xsd
file:c:\servers\mserver\ojamc2vpt1_part.xsd
file:c:/servers/mserver/ojamc2vpt1_part.xsd

There is some ambiguity in the RFC about the exact form of file: URLs,
leading to different interpretions, and different processors can require
different forms.  The form you used works on some processors, but I forget
what works with which.

It should be noted that all of the forms above adress different locations. The component separator for file: URLs is "/", not "\". Which actually doesn't matter if the whole stuff is passed down to the OS routines, but still... BTW from within applications, Windows accepts both "/" and "\" as directory separators. Furthermore the last two forms are formally relative URLs (despite being absolute file system paths) and could be accidentally passed to an URI resolver.

Bottom line: the original form is preferable in
any case and should also work for every major XSL
processor.
