asked on

lotus notes & adobe indesign

Hello there,

I'm currently working on an application which needs to cummunicate with
Adobe Indesign...
I'm just not sure how to make OLE objects....
Does when I run this next LotusScript i get the following message:
Cannot create automation object...

This is the script....:

Sub Click(Source As Button)

 Dim db As NotesDatabase
 Dim myView As NotesView
 Dim myDocument As NotesDocument
 Dim myNotesItem As NotesItem
 Dim myAdv_kolom As Integer
 Dim myAdv_hoogte As Integer
 Dim myInDesign As Variant
 Dim count As Integer
 Dim myPub As Variant
 Dim myFrame As Variant
 Dim bounds (0 To 3) As String

 Set myInDesign = getObject ("", "InDesign.Application")
'This is where stuff goes wrong....!!
Set myPub = Indesign.Documents
 Set myFrame = InDesing.TextFrame

 Set db = New NotesDatabase( "", "uitgever.nsf" )
 Messagebox( db.Title )
 Set myView  = db.GetView( "advertenties" )

 Set myDocument = myView.GetFirstDocument
 count = 0

 Do Until myDocument Is Nothing
  Set myNotesItem = myDocument.GetFirstItem("adv_kolom")
  myAdv_kolom = 35 * myNotesItem.text
  Set myNotesItem = myDocument.GetFirstItem("adv_hoogte")
  myAdv_hoogte = myNotesItem.text
  Messagebox("Breedte " & myAdv_kolom & " Hoogte: " & myAdv_Hoogte)
  bounds(0) = "0p0"
  bounds(1) = "0p0"
  bounds(2) = myAdv_kolom
  bounds(3) = myAdv_hoogte
  count = count + 1
  Set myDocument = myView.GetNextDocument( myDocument )
 Loop

 Messagebox("Zoveel documenten: " & count)

End Sub

Does anybody have any ideas?
thanks in advance....
