Yes, but: the file will open in the user's browser of choice and your script will not be able to directly monitor the event. I suspect that you could set-up something like this: Create a text file with a name that ties it into the password transaction. Make it empty. Make a new document and put a hyperlink in it that calls for the URL of your file with the password control. Issue a go to destination and then delete (remove) the document. Monitor the text file until it changes. Your password control page will now need to write to that text file for your script to proceed. You could build a time-check into the loop so that you don't leave InDesign in an endless loop for more some sensible time (one minute? five minutes?). It occurs to me that this would be a way of using any HTML file to provide an interface to an InDesign JavaScript. Dave
