I think I understand what you are saying; I did play a little with typed dataset a while back. But now I need a solution withot a typed dataset; I need to deliver this job by Wednesday. And I don't think I will be able to create typed dataset and make sure it works in just 2 days.
Strange though that the "default" in the XSD does nothing. I think I have the same XML with the same type of XSD with defaults, in VFP application, and it works there.

>>You are correct. The problem is with the null/empty entries in elements. It seems that my XSD Schema and default values don't do anything.
