Hi there!

I'm working on a databased solution to make it easier printing and changing catalogs with InDesign.

VB and the DB aren't the problems but to show VB how work with the InDesign commands is the big big problem.

I'm not able to find a way how to print more then one string in ID.
My solution at the moment is

Set myframe = myInDesign.ActiveDocument.TextFrames.Item(1)
myframe.TextContents = text_string

But I want to fill the document with more then one string. When I started this row with another string again, InDesign deletes the previous content I insert.

There must be a way to insert strings without deleting the old ones in ID. And it should be all in the same textframe not for each string a new textframe.

I hope someone can help me.

Timo
