Ah, I left out the "1" in the first statement. 

Well, i did say it was "something like." 

My code should read: 

try  set myFrame to (text frame 1 whose label is "Main Box") on error  set myFrame to (master page item 1 whose label is "Main Box") end 

I'm forever leaving out those "1"s and it takes an age to work out what's wrong. 

By the way, as an extra check, you can do this with the on error code: 

on error  try   set myFrame to (master page item 1 whose label is "Main Box")  on error   -- wrong master page so take some other action  end try end try
