Hi

Based on my research, we have to do it programmically.

I'm assuming you're referring to the XML Source feature in Excel 2003 Pro.
If so, you can only "export" the XML schema using Excel's OM.

Assuming there's only 1 XmlMap and 1 associated schema:

ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps(1).Schemas(1).XML

will give you the XML for the schema.
And then you can use File IO to write out the schema to a file.
e.g.
Print # Statement Example
This example uses the Print # statement to write data to a file.

Open "TESTFILE" For Output As #1 ' Open file for output.
Print #1, "This is a test" ' Print text to file.
Print #1, ' Print blank line to file.
Print #1, "Zone 1"; Tab ; "Zone 2" ' Print in two print zones.
Print #1, "Hello" ; " " ; "World" ' Separate strings with space.
Print #1, Spc(5) ; "5 leading spaces " ' Print five leading spaces.
Print #1, Tab(10) ; "Hello" ' Print word at column 10.

' Assign Boolean, Date, Null and Error values.
Dim MyBool, MyDate, MyNull, MyError
MyBool = False : MyDate = #February 12, 1969# : MyNull = Null
MyError = CVErr(32767)
' True, False, Null, and Error are translated using locale settings of
' your system. Date literals are written using standard short date
' format.
Print #1, MyBool ; " is a Boolean value"
Print #1, MyDate ; " is a date"
Print #1, MyNull ; " is a null value"
Print #1, MyError ; " is an error value"
Close #1 ' Close file.

If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.
