Alex--

Ah, if you want to delete all guides with a particular label, try iterating backwards:



For myCounter = myPage.Guides.Count to 1 Step -1 
If myPage.Guides.Item(myCounter).Label = "myGuide" then  
myPage.Guides.Item(myCounter).Delete  
End If  
Next 




InDesign refers to guides by their index. Remove a guide, and it's likely that references to the higher-numbered guides will become invalid. Iterating backwards solves this by deleting guides from the *end* of the list, rather than the beginning.

Thanks,

Ole
