i am going through an XML tutorial, and it's talking about XML Schemas vs. DTD's. Is an XML Schema a MS "feature" or is it a new standard to eventually replace the DTD? Not that I'm complaining, because I can see a whole lot of usefulness for the schema... ------------------------------------------- Lucas Vogel, Software Developer Exponent Failure Analysis Associates, Inc. lvogel@exponent.com (623)587-6739
