Problem running FrameScript in Frame 9

[Rick Spiegel]

Thank you both very much! Adding "MakeVisible(False) did the trick -- 
everything is working fine now.

Thanks again,
Rick

Rick,
 
You can open the files "invisibly" by adding the parameter 
"MakeVisible(False)" to the Open command in your current script. Something 
else that might help save on memory a bit is to avoid updating xrefs and 
insets (if that works for your situation) by adding 
"UpdateTextReferences(No)" and "UpdateXRefs(No)" params to the Open 
command. Just a thought.
 
OPEN Document File(bookcomp.Name) NewVar(vDobj) FileIsOldVersion(OK) 
FontNotFoundInDoc(OK) FontNotFoundInCatalog(OK) 
AlertUserAboutFailure(False) FileIsInUse(ResetLockAndContinue) 
RefFileNotFound(AllowAllRefFilesUnFindable) LanguageNotAvailable(OK) 
FontChangedMetric(OK) MakeVisible(False) UpdateTextReferences(No) 
UpdateXRefs(No);
 
HTH,
Mike
