Indesign CS2, MAC OS 10.4.11

Hello to everybody

I have this small script for saving a document

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set Thepath to (path to desktop) as string
set Thepathf to Thepath & "Rclue Indesign Grids:"
try
info for file Thepathf
set Thepath to Thepathf as string
end try
set Thepath to Thepath & "4x4fac_100001.Indd"
set file_ref to open for access file Thepath
close access file_ref
save active document to Thepath
close active document
end tell

It is part of an application which is running correctly on several computers

For one of my client I got now this error when executing the save instruction

"Adobe Indesign CS2 error file "name of the file" can't be found"

and what I get in the folder is an empty file

Manually we can save the file

Have you already met this problem, thank you for your help

Regards

JeanClaude

I'm a bit baffled by what your code is doing exactly. All you should need
is:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set Thepath to (path to desktop) as string
set Thepathf to Thepath & "Rclue Indesign Grids:"
set Thepath to Thepath & "4x4fac_100001.Indd"
save active document to Thepath
close active document saving no
end tell
