Nico, my knowledge of VB is much too limited to help you with the syntax,
but the method is there alright. In AppleScript (which is what I know) it is
associated with the document object. Like this:


tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
    tell every document to import XML from "Macintosh
HD:Users:richardr:Desktop:Source.xml"
end tell

(path should be without line break)

Note however that the XML import preferences belongs to the application


The size of the XML file you are about to import will probably cause
InDesign to choke though - have you tried to import it via the UI
