I have a data set in excel, that I'm attempting to export as XML. I can not seem to get the XSD schema file correct to allow me to export the data. I keep getting the error "Cannot save or export XML data. The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable."

The data is a simple table on one worksheet in excel a few hundred rows long. I know how to add the Map to my excel file, and how to map the elements, but I think I've written the XSD incorrectly.

This is the sample XML I'm trying to create (with many games):
HTML:
<games>
  <game>
    <date>2010-06-01</date>
    <time>13:00:00</time>
    <field>field ID </field>
    <home> Home ID </home>
    <away> Away ID </away>
    <division> division </division>
    <game_type> L/NL/Bye </game_type>
    <tournament> 0/1 </tournament>
  </game>
...
...
</games>

This is the XSD Schema I've written:
HTML:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
	<xsd:annotation>
    	<xsd:documentation xml:lang="en">
    	 Schedule schema for MSL Schedule 2010 rev 1
    	</xsd:documentation>
  	</xsd:annotation>

	
	<xsd:element name="Games">
	<xsd:complexType>
		<xsd:sequence>
			<xsd:element name="Game" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
				<xsd:complexType>
				<xsd:sequence>
					<xsd:element name="date" type="xsd:date"/>
					<xsd:element name="time" type="xsd:time"/>
					<xsd:element name="field" type="xsd:string"/>
					<xsd:element name="home" type="xsd:string"/>
					<xsd:element name="away" type="xsd:string"/>
					<xsd:element name="division" type="xsd:string"/>
					<xsd:element name="game_type" type="xsd:string"/>
					<xsd:element name="tournament" type="xsd:string"/>
				</xsd:sequence>
				</xsd:complexType>	
			</xsd:element>
		</xsd:sequence>
	</xsd:complexType>
	
	</xsd:element>

</xsd:schema>
Grateful for any advice that can be given. I'm an excel whiz, but an XML novice. :) Thanks in advance.
