Hey Jason, Thanks. Tried it. Taking it off and setting the MinOccurs to 0 doesn't still pick up the default from the AR Server but returns a 500 error. So I'm stuck with having to define it as a DefaultValue in the WSDL or setting it in the Request envelope. Joe _ From:

Required (In XML minOccurrs = "1") means it has to have a value. All the MidTier does for required (I think) is validate that the element has data. I think all type checking and actual data validation is from the AR Server processes. For the ? issue, are you talking about what you see in s
