You receive a validation error when you use Visio 2003 to open a Visio XML file that contains a nested third-party inline schema (828820)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2003
  • Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Office Visio 2003 to open a Visio XML (.vxd) file that contains a nested third-party inline schema with known errors in that nested element, that file will open successfully. However, you receive a validation error.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Visio 2003 cannot validate third-party XML files that use an inline schema declared in a nested element--for example, SolutionXML. Visio 2003 can validate third-party XML files that reference a schema that uses the xsi:schemaLocation attribute.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, do either of the following:
  • Add an inline schema to the schema cache.
  • Use the xsi:schemaLocation attribute with the Use-schema-location feature. This permits you to refer a schema directly from your xmi document without adding it to the cache.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.
