Alex--

When you select a table, you'll see as you debug (using the Watch window or the Locals window) that the type of the selection is "Cell"--to select the table, get the parent of the cell, as in:



Set myTable = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1) 
If TypeName(myTable) = "Cell" Then 
Set myTable = myTable.Parent 
End If 




When you have the text frame selected, you can get at the table using:



Set myTable = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1).Tables.Item(1) 




The best thing to do is probably to write a "selection sorter" that acts according to the type of the selection. A typical selection sorting routine looks something like this:



If myInDesign.Selection.Count > 0 Then 
Select Case TypeName(myInDesign.Selection.Item(1) 
Case "TextFrame" 
Rem Do something 
Case "Cell" 
Rem Do something else 
Case "InsertionPoint", "Character", "Word", "TextStyleRange", "TextLine", "Paragraph", "TextColumn", "Text", "Story" 
Rem Do something else 
Case Else 
Rem do nothing 
End Select 
End If 




InDesign doesn't crash here when I run your snippet on a text frame--I'm assuming that there's something else going on in your code that causes the crash.

Thanks,
