  I have received no responses working with other forums on this issue so I hope this forum will be the answer.

  This is the first time I have dealt with a "method", and I can't figure out how to "assign" the value. I have attached my .xsd, as a .txt, and examples (as well as displaying below) of the XML that gets generated by a test harness (supplied by a different company) and what I get. I use Altova MapForce (2011) (attach as a picture) to map the data and that might be the issue. Any insight on Altova or the other bits would be greatly appreciated.

  as you can see, in my result there is no value for <measurement>

  If it seems like I am talking crazy let me know, my understanding of what all this is is slim
