If I open an InDesign document using the Open Recent option my document is fine with all links correct and fonts found, but if I open it from a VB script it the document contains unlinked, unedited text files and missing fonts. The same happens if I open the InDe doc by double clicking the file icon in Explorer. Has anyone else experienced this? It's the first app I've come up against that opens a document in different ways depending on how you do it.

Mike-- 

No, this shouldn't be a problem, and I've never seen it happen. Forgive me for asking, but I've got to eliminate the easy "is it plugged in" questions before we go on<g>--is it at all possible that the file you're trying to open with VB and the icon you're clicking are a different file than the one listed in your Open Recent listing? 

Thanks, 

Ole

Thanks Ole. I'll have to be more careful about saving, as it would appear that InDe saves to My Documents as default if you haven't specified a folder at some time. Found a whole bunch of them in My Documents and I know I haven't saved them there on purpose. It's always the simple ones...
