Hi Sheldon,

re: " I was told by Adobe support that the two can not co-exist on the same machine."

That's incorrect. I wonder where in the world they got that idea.

There's always a danger, when iterating through links, that you'll end up pointing at an object reference that is no longer valid. When you relink a link, the original link object is destroyed and a new link object is created. The links collection, therefore, shuffles. Does your problem go away if you iterate in reverse order?

Also, it looks to me as if the Relink method now wants a File object (as shown in the JavaScript version above), rather than just a string. Here's an example in VBSCript form.



Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS4") 
Set myFileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
Set myDocument = myInDesign.Documents.Item(1) 
For X = myDocument.Links.Count To 1 Step -1 
    Set myLink = myDocument.Links.Item(X) 
    strFile = "C:\test.jpg" 
    Rem If Not myLink.Status = idLinkStatus.idNormal Then 
        If strFile <> myLink.FilePath Then 
            myLink.Relink myFileSystemObject.GetFile(strFile) 
            myLink.Update 
        End If 
    End If 
Next

Thanks,

Ole
