David-- 

Oops, I meant Update, not Relink, but you got it right. 

I tried: 



Dim myInDesign As InDesign.Application 
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0") 
Set myDocument = myInDesign.ActiveDocument 
Set idImage = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1).Images.Item(1) 
Set idLink = idImage.Link 
idLink.Relink "c:\test.tif" 
Set idLink = idLink.Update 
Set idImage = idLink.Parent 
MsgBox (idImage.ID) 




And it works perfectly (provided I select an object containing an image). Is it possible that the Relink command is being directed to a file that doesn't exist? 

Try putting a stop on the line "Set idLink = idLink.Update, then look at the Locals window as you debug. Do you get a valid Link object back? 

Thanks, 

Ole
