Hi Rick,

It's most likely that "$.writeln(xrefFmt.name)" throws an error that is then handled by the catch statement. JavaScript will always think that "xrefFmt = doc.crossReferenceFormats.item(formatName)" returns a valid object--it's only when you try to use some property of that object that it'll realize that the object is invalid.

You could just change the line to: "xrefFmt.name;"--that will generate an error if the cross reference format does not exist.

Thanks,

Ole
