hey, you just made my day! Thank you so much!It really works with a 'sequence'. But I don't quite understand why this is not allowed for 'all' groups.Anyway, thanks for your kind help, which was not ugly at all

Hi,I thought I knew Schema but obviously I'm not as smart as I thought I was What I want to describe in my Schema is the following structure: <info>this is an information</info><error>this is an error</error><fileNumber>12345</fileNumber> The info-tag is to be optional. error and fileNumber must not appear at the same time (choice).I tried this, which is not valid, because "all" must only contain elements: <xsd:all> <xsd:element name="info" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" /> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:choice> <xsd:element name="error" type="xsd:string" /> <xsd:element name="fileNumber" type="xsd:string" /> </xsd:choice> </xsd:complexType></xsd:all> Right now my only solution looks like this: <xsd:all> <xsd:element name="info" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" /> <xsd:element name="container"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:choice> <xsd:element name="error" type="xsd:string" /> <xsd:element name="fileNumber" type="xsd:string" /> </xsd:choice> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element></xsd:all> But I don't want this ugly container-element.Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance!Lius
