SMR, There are a couple of minor issues with your code, but nothing that explains why you would get no error message or output.
1. xsi. As the previous poster said, you have an extra space between xsi: and noNamespaceSchemaLocation which cases an error for me on the XmlParse function. 2. XSI Namespace. Namespaces are not locations but rather identify the owner of elements. They can point to a schema location, but it is not necessary. The namespace for xsi must be "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance". 3. Schema. While it would cause no problems whatsoever in creating the document, the XML does not match the schema you provided. The schema shows a root element of document, whereas the cfm code generated xml code that had a doc-list root element with document elements inside it. 4. It is not necessary, but when creating an XML file you can try using the CFXML tag instead of CFSAVECONTENT/XmlParse. Note that when using CFXML you do not include the ?XML? declaration. The following code is a modification of your original and works fine.
