Microsoft added schema validation when no clear standard was available, so they implemented something called XDR (XML Data Reduced); their policy is now to migrate to the W3C spec (MSXML 4.0 supports W3C schema), and they published a tool to help the migration from XDR to XSD (http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/539/msdncompositedoc.xml) >The problem is that I am unable to use the Microsoft XML parser that comes >shipped with Internet Explorer due to the reason I am not using any MFC, >therefore getting hold of and using an ActiveX object has its own >difficulties! It's not so difficult to instanciate MSXML, even without MFC; have a look at the sample file at http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/msdn-files/026/000/149/Common/Source%20Files/example_cpp.asp Alberto ------------------------------- Alberto Massari eXcelon Corp. http://www.StylusStudio.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
