Script Issues

Thank you all for your help.

Turns out it was nothing related to the scripts at all.

When I copied my FindChangeSupport files over to the new laptop the system, for reasons unknown, decided to rename some of my .txt files to .docx files (I assume some sort of automatic file association kicked in somewhere)

All is now working as it should be.

Many thanks again 🙂

FWIW: At least my issue with VB scripts on Windows 10 will be resolved with the new upcoming update of InDesign 2021 to version 16.2.0.30. See: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/fixed-issues.html

Fixed issues in InDesign

Scripting
[Win only] VB Script can be executed only after InDesign is launched in Admin mode at least once.

Hi defaulttcn46ypa0b4u,

I can only tell that I also have issues with VB scripts on a current Windows 10.

No error message though. Just a sound and nothing works. That's with InDesign 2021.

FWIW:

For me this is a non-issue, because I always write scripts in ExtendScript (JavaScript).

Maybe it's time to port the VB scripts to ExtendScript?

Sorry, this is not much help.

I'm a Mac user, but I should think your 10-year-old version of InDesign would not be compatible with Windows 10.
