File Adapter with Master/Detail Use Case

Question

Hello,
We are trying to model an inbound text file interface using the native format wizard to create a schema. The layout of this type of file would be fixed length with a header record followed by detail records like this:
header1header1header1header1header1
detail1detail1detail1detail1detail1detail1detail1detail1detail1detail1
header2header2header2header2header2
detail2detail2detail2detail2detail2detail2detail2detail2detail2detail2
We tried everything to get the wizard to layout the fields in each of these formats using the multiple records, multiple types choice and with no success. Has anyone gotten this type of thing to work? The error we're getting is something about the first position of the second record needing to start after the last position of the first record which seems daft because each line is a separate record. There doesn't seem to be any detailed help on this wizard that I can find.
Thanks.

Hi,
Here is an example of a Master/detail XML schema I made. Hope it helps.
It would be intersting to jnow how people have implemented that.
