Is the solution to change these name spaces or is there a better way? To change the namespace is one solution but a better one is probably to create a "main" schema that use the same targetNamespace as box and pallet (urn:www.eai.com:CIMF) and then includes these two schemas. This will bring in all the types and elements from box and pallet to this "main" schema and in your instance document it is enough if you include this schema: <x:CimfObjects xmlns:x="urn:www.eai.com:CIMF" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:www.eai.com:CIMF main.xsd"> Cheers, /Eddie
