I haven't checked Adobe's site for their description (and haven't checked that their Control can create automation objects), but the standard handlings include an "on error resume next" line, as in http://www.macromedia.com/go/13127 (The VBScript is handled through a document.write there because some versions of IE/Mac will throw an alert when they see a VBScript block... crazy stuff.) Does your code look like the known-to-be-good code for this...? jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Developer Support, San Francisco (Best to reply on-list, to avoid my mighty spam filters!)
