Hi alltogether,

I have a text frame on a page into which I want to place an excel table:

Dim thisFrame As InDesign.TextFrame
Set thisFrame = thisActualPage.TextFrames.Item("TextFrameName")
Call thisFrame.Place(FileName:="ExcelFileName", autoFlow:=False,
importOptions:=False, retainFormat:=True, convertQuotes:=True)

But instead of inserting the table into the text frame where I called the
place command, it opens up in a new frame. Can anyone give me a hint how to
solve it or give me an example how to use the placePoint argument of the
place command? In the reference there is neither an example nor a specific
variable type (other than the variant type that didn't help much) for this
argument.

Jens
