Shane--

Not too much, just that it's a bit more explicit. It also shows something nifty--the JavaScript "execute" method. Consider the following:



//OpenLinkFolder.js 
//An InDesign CS JavaScript 
// 
//This script opens the folder containing the selected linked file. 
with(app){ 
	if (documents.length != 0){ 
		if (selection.length == 1){ 
			if ((selection[0].constructor.name !="Text")&& 
			(selection[0].constructor.name != "InsertionPoint")&& 
			(selection[0].constructor.name != "TextFrame")&& 
			(selection[0].constructor.name != "TextPath")){ 
				myOpenLinkFolder(); 
			} 
			else{ 
				alert("The selected object is a text object. Select a graphic and try again."); 
			} 
		} 
		else{ 
			alert("Please select a single graphic and try again."); 
		} 
	} 
	else{ 
		alert("No documents are open. Please open a document, select a graphic, and try again."); 
	} 
} 
function myOpenLinkFolder(){ 
	with(app){ 
	switch (selection[0].constructor.name){ 
		case "Rectangle": 
		case "Oval": 
		case "Polygon": 
		case "GraphicLine": 
			//Frame is selected; get a reference to 
			//the graphic contained by the frame (if any). 
			if((selection[0].contentType == ContentType.graphicType)&& 
			(selection[0].graphics.length > 0)){ 
				myGraphic = selection[0].graphics.item(0); 
			} 
			else { 
				myGraphic = "no graphic"; 
			} 
			break; 
		default: 
			myGraphic = selection[0]; 
			break;

	} 
	if(myGraphic !="no graphic"){ 
		myLink = myGraphic.itemLink; 
		myFilePath = myLink.filePath; 
		myFilePath.parent.execute(); 
	} 
	} 
}

Thanks,
