GeekGod-- 

FoundText is type Objects, and contains 0+ objects. If FoundText is not empty, then FoundText.Items(1).Tables.Add should convert the found item into a table. 

To get the text frame containing the text, use FoundText.Items(1).ParentTextFrame. (But I'm not sure why you want to get the text frame in this example...enlighten me?) 

Finally, don't use For Each...Next to iterate through InDesign collection objects. We've got a bug that limits the number of returned objects to 256. Instead, use For <counter> = x to y...Next. 

Thanks, 

Ole
