Greetings.

I have a little VBS script which places two files into frames within a starter document, and I would like it to export to PDF once it completes.



 
Rem Add formatted text at insertion points 
Dim myInDesign 
Set myInDesign =CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0") 
Set myDocument =myInDesign.Documents.Open ("c:\starterdocument.indd") 
Rem Enter header and body text. 
myInDesign.Documents.Item(1).Spreads.Item(1).TextFrames.Item(1).Place = "c:\Header.TXT" 
myInDesign.Documents.Item(1).Spreads.Item(1).TextFrames.Item(2).Place = "c:\Body.TXT" 
Rem Export to PDF 
Rem and PDF export style name in the following line: 
Set myDocument =myInDesign.ActiveDocument 
myInDesign.PDFExportStyles.Item("Datasheet") 
myDocument.Export idExportPDF,"c:\myPDF.pdf",False 




When I run the script, it places the files correctly, but returns the error:

 
Script:     path to script 
Line:       12 
Char:       1 
Error:      Unspecified 
Error Code: 80004005 




What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
