Ralph--

Here's a Visual Basic example:



Rem Place an asset from a library 
Dim myInDesign As InDesign.Application 
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0") 
Set myDocument = myInDesign.Documents.Add 
Rem Assumes that a library file exists (edit the file path as necessary). 
Set myLibrary = myInDesign.Open("c:\myLibrary.indl") 
Rem Assumes that the library contains an asset named "Example" 
Set myAsset = myLibrary.Assets.Item("Example") 
myAsset.Place myDocument 
Rem InDesign selects the asset after you place it. 
Rem You can get a reference to the placed asset 
Rem by using the Selection object. 
Set myPlacedAsset = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1) 




Thanks,

Ole
