I'm trying to write a simple script that will open a document and update the linked text file, unfortunately nothing about ID scripting is simple for me :-o

Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS")
Set myDocument = myInDesign.open("document.indd")
set myLinks = myDocument.links(1)
myLinks.update

This script opens the file fine but doesn't update the link because ID opens a dialog box asking the user to update the link manually. If I close the dialog box and run the script again it works fine. How do I suppress the dialog box? or am I approaching this wrong?

Thanks Perrin
