You use the href attribute: 

<Performance href="file:///D:\Cartridge Valve\Images (temporary)\P102003E.EPS" /> 

We use a VBA script to build the XML. In our Access database we store the illustration number P102003E and the script adds the rest. Also, we use an OLE field in the table to hold a snapshot (WMF) file of the graphic for reference. 

I'm not sure I understand your second question. Do you have a page(s) set up with tagged frames before you import the XML file? 

Does the order of these pre-tagged items in your structure match the order of items in your XML file? This seems dumb to me, but the order does have to match or frames will be skipped. 

The more you get into this method, the more sense it makes to take Ole's approach using tagged text. Although I haven't figured out how he does that yet.
