Hi,
I'm trying to set up a very basic script to transfer values from a spread sheet (excel 10)to a ID (2.0)document. Everything works fine with the line :
myTextFrame9.TextContents = myTransfer
 if 'myTransfer' is text. As soon as it is only a number, even though the spreadsheet cell is formatted to text, I get a Run_time error'-2147467459 (80004005)':Method 'TextContents' of Object 'TextFrame' failed. Can someone give me an easy solution: can the number be converted to text somehow?
Thanks
Michael
