Shane,

You were right, the search method is way to go.

Thank you for your valuable time!

Here is the final script for those who have followed this thread:

-- Change Case of Selected Paragraph.scpt 
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2" 
	set myDoc to active document

	set myParaList to name of every paragraph style of myDoc 
	set myCaseVals to {lowercase, sentencecase, titlecase, uppercase}

	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "+" 
	set myCaseList to text items of (myCaseVals as string) 
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""

	set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Choose paragraph style and change case"} 
	tell myDialog 
		tell (make dialog column) 
			tell (make border panel) 
				tell (make dialog column) 
					make static text with properties {static label:"Choose a paragraph style to affect", min width:150} 
				end tell 
				tell (make dialog column) 
					set myPresetsDropdown to make dropdown with properties � 
						{string list:myParaList, selected index:0, min width:150} 
				end tell 
				tell (make dialog column) 
					make static text with properties {static label:"Choose a case", min width:150} 
				end tell 
				tell (make dialog column) 
					set myCaseDropdown to make dropdown with properties � 
						{string list:myCaseList, selected index:0} 
				end tell 
			end tell 
		end tell 
	end tell 
	set myResult to show myDialog 
	if myResult = true then 
		--+1 gets the correct name because list starts at 0 
		set myPara to item ((selected index of myPresetsDropdown) + 1) of myParaList 
		set myCase to item ((selected index of myCaseDropdown) + 1) of myCaseVals 
	end if 
	destroy myDialog

	tell myDoc 
		set myStyle to paragraph style myPara 
		set myChange to search with find attributes {applied paragraph style:myStyle} 
		changecase myChange using myCase 
	end tell

end tell
