I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck with running InDesign from ASP pages? What I am doing is having a user enter information into a webpage and then I generate an XML document. Then right from the ASP page (after I generate the XML) I am trying to trigger InDesign to start up and read the XML in and print the document. Now I can get InDesign to do this using a seperate .vbs script, but when I try to use the same code directly in the ASP page nothing works and InDesign hangs and I have to reboot the server. I even tried triggering the .vbs script from the ASP page using the shell object but that won't work either. I would appreciate any suggestions anyone may have. Here is the code that I am trying to use: Dim myInDesign Dim myDoc Set myInDesign = CreateObject "InDesign.Application.2.0") myInDesign.Documents.Open "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\keepsakes\templates\2ndballoontemplate.indd" Set myDoc = myInDesign.ActiveDocument myDoc.ImportXML "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\keepsakes\keepsakes.xml" myDoc.PrintOut idPrintOptions = 3, "Envelope" myInDesign.Quit idSaveOptions = idDoNotSaveChanges
