For the question 1) :<br>Yes, it's possible. You must move the content of all included files in the parent file (recursively). Finally, you will have only imported files.<br><br>I give as example the basic situation: Parent.xsd includes Child.xsd.<br><br>Copy all the content between &lt;xs:schema&gt; and &lt;/xs:schema&gt; from Child.xsd into Parent.xsd, imediatly after &lt;xs:schema&gt; declaration. Copy all the declarations of namespaces that appear in Child.xsd and doesn't appear in Parent.xsd, in &lt;xs:schema ..... &gt;. And remove of course &lt;xs:include&gt;.<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Adrian Oancea<p>&#32;__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?  Yahoo!
