I'm trying to include some error handling for instances where a script calls for the active document and there is no active document. Nothing I've tried works as I always get the VB message "Run-time error '30468'". Here's one of my many attempts:

Dim myInDesign As InDesign.Application
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
Set myDocument = myInDesign.ActiveDocument
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Msg = "Please open an InDesign document"
MsgBox Msg, vbExclamation
End If

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Phil Redman
