Hi,

I am sure it is an easy question for most of you...

I've got the following element:

<xs:element name="LastName" type="xs:string">

How can I define the max length allawd for this field..?

cheers,

Here you go:
<xs:element name="LastName">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:maxlength value="8"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

Here i've set the max length to 8.

Regards
Lee
