This is where I am now
==================
myCounter = 1
myColumnCounter = 0
myRowCounter = 0
Do While myColumnCounter < 3
myTop = ((myRowCounter * myRH) + (myGutter * myRowCounter)) + myMarginTop
myBottom = ((((myRowCounter + 1) * myRH) + (myGutter * myRowCounter)) + myMarginTop)
myLeft = ((myColumnCounter * myCW) + (myGutter * myColumnCounter)) + myMarginLeft
myRight = (((myColumnCounter + 1) * myCW) + (myGutter * myColumnCounter)) + myMarginLeft
Set myTextFrame = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Add
myTextFrame.GeometricBounds = Array(myTop, myLeft, myTop + (myRH / 4), myRight)
myTextFrame.Label = "Name-" & myPage & "-" & myCounter
Set myTextFrame2 = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Add
myTextFrame2.GeometricBounds = Array(myTop, myRight, myBottom, myLeft)
myTextFrame2.Label = "Info-" & myPage & "-" & myCounter
Set myRectangle1 = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).Rectangles.Add
myRectangle1.GeometricBounds = Array(myBottom - (myRH / 8), myLeft, myBottom, myRight)
myRectangle1.Label = "Photo-" & myPage & "-" & myCounter
myCounter = myCounter + 1
myColumnCounter = myColumnCounter + 1
myRowCounter = myRowCounter + 1
Loop
==========================
not that it's WORKING, it doesn't seem to be looping, or adding to the counter correctly. Did I miss something with the counter syntax?
I'm also having trouble getting the text into the boxes in the other part of the script, but I'll work on that some more before I throw it at ya.
