Hi,

There are several problems that I see at first glance:

1. You need to prefix AccountUpdate with "tmpGlobals:" - otherwise the
namespace declaration does nothing.

2. Your xsi:schemaLocation attribute should say ..../tmpGlobals instead of
.../globals.  The namespaces have to match exactly.

3. The namespace specified in your xs:import statement in account.xsd must
match the target namespace of the schema you are importing.  So, it must use
www.temp.com instead of www.talgov.com.

Hope that helps,
Priscilla
