Yep, it's a quark Import... We are looking at switching our Mac/Quark/AppleScript proofing department to PC/ID/VBScript... (Shane Stanly actualy setup our AppleScript proofing stuff - Hey Shane!!!)... 

Anyway - back on topic... There is a enum of idUnassigned for ContentType (value = 1970168179), so I would hope that ID returned idUnassinged instead of an exeption, but anyway, i think that error trapping for it is the only work around... I'm also finding there are a lot of little quirks with IDScripting, mainly to do with assigning certain variables to certain objects, but these are also work-aroundable... 

EG: 
Dim idPageItem As Indesign.PageItem 
.... 
Set idPageItem = idPage.PageItems(curPageItem) fails with Type mismatch 

What is your opinion of the stability of ID 2 as a serious graphic scripting platform? - Would you wait for ID3 before moving it into a production enviroment? 

Next Question :) I'm doing my image replacement by iterating through the collection of PageItems in the Document.Pages object. If ContentType = idGraphic then relink the idImage.Link... Easy... 

BUT, I can't use a similar method to access the idTextFrames object... 

EG: 
  ElseIf idPage.PageItems(curPageItem).ContentType = idText Then 
msgbox(idPage.PageItems(curPageItem).count) 

will fail with Object doesn't support this property or method. In fact every attempt to access the TextFrames object of the PageItems object will fail with the same error... But I can do text replacement by iterating through the TextFrames object of the Page object. - once again, workaroundable, but it means we are looping through the document twice instead of once.... 

P.S. Thanks for all of your help!!! Much appriciated...
