Dave: If you look at pages 49-50 of APPLESCRIPTING INDESIGN, by Shirley Hopkins, she says that using a simple "swatch abc of docref" will do, even if you are below the "tell active document" level. She even provides three examples of so doing in code snippets...but then she also sets the swatch to "Cyan" and we've already had a thorough discussion on that topic. Okay, so its not the first time a reference has provided me with less than good information...:( Moving on, I tried doing as you suggested, and that *did not* fix the problem. Something else almost has to be going on because I have written several sample scripts as tests and they work just fine; its only in the context of this large project that the command does not want to work as advertised.
