Hi All 
This is my first post and I'm not that familiar with the InDesign terminologi yet, so please bear with me. 

I need to find a way to get the name of an image placed in a frame. I started out with this (VBScript): 

Set myDocument = InDesign.Documents.Open(strFile) 

for each myPageItem in myDocument.PageItems 
��if myPageItem.ContentType = idGraphic then 
����msgbox "Image " & myPageItem.Images.Item(1).HorizontalScale 
��end if 
next 

myDocument.Close 

This works and I get a message box showing the horizontal scale of all the images on the page.  

Is it possible to extract the name of the image? I do not find anything in the VBscript reference 

Regards 
Torben
