Is it possible to change mode via script?

How to change the mode via script.

Thanks,

You can't. You would need to create a new document with the desired color mode and copy/paste the objects from the original file.

VB only:
1) make action (via insert menu item)
2) DoScript

Steve's right. You can do it in AppleScript also.

System events will also do this in AppleScript

Thanks for your response. Through illustrator action in cs3, i changed the document mode(RGB to CMYK) via Visual Basic. But sometimes only it throws 2 different kinds of error messages.

CODE:
-----
appRef.DoScript "Change", "Convert"
While (appRef.ActionIsRunning)
WScript.sleep 1000
Wend

Error 1:
--------
Could not complete the Play Command because the action is playing.

Error 2:
--------
The Object "Document Color Mode: CMYK Color" is not currently available.

Could you please explain how to solve this error.
