Aleksey,

Thanks for the sample code!

I don't have "Start Menu\Programs\MSXML 4.0\Microsoft XML 4.0 Parser SDK" menu item at all anywhere under "Start Menu".

Based on your sample, I tried to read my XSD as follows:

oDom=CREATEOBJECT("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")
m.odom.load("abcroot.xsd")
oCache=CREATEOBJECT("Msxml2.XMLSchemaCache.4.0")
m.ocache.add("http://www.myserver.com/abc",m.odom.documentElement)
oSchema = m.ocache.getSchema("http://www.myserver.com/abc")

I am getting an error at this line:

oSchema=oCache.getSchema("http://www.myserver.com/abc")

when I apply it to my schema file. My schema has a namespaceURI. The error says "OLE Error code 0x80020003: Member not found".

Thanks again
