The specified XML file does not refer to a schema

You are opening an XML file that doesn't refer to an XML schema. Microsoft Office Excel 2003 must create a schema based on the contents of the XML file order to work with the XML data contained in the file.

If the schema that Excel creates is incorrect or insufficient for your needs, then you should create an XML schema file and then edit the XML data file to so that it refers to the schema. Follow these steps to remove the schema that Excel created form your workbook:

  1. On the Data menu, point to XML, and then click XML Source.
  2. Click XML Maps.
  3. Click the XML map that represents the schema that Excel created and then click Delete.
