Hi Henning, <@SHAMELESSPLUG>
I wrote a short Article on this topic for my site (one of the fee articles I do have - more coming). The example is for a PDF file, but applies to all types of files. http://xml-extra.net/webpage.xmlx?node=38 This does more or less exactly what you are asking for. Plus there is a download for the example file. </@SHAMELESSPLUG> Good Luck and I hope this helps. Cheers...
