connect to a running InDesign via GetObject()

[AIck]

Hi community,

I have a question about accessing InDesign at runtime via COM/ActiveX.

I can start a new InDesign from VBA in Word (CreateObject("InDesign.Application")) - but I cannot access a running InDesign via GetObject("InDesign.Application").
Is this a known problem? Is Adobe deliberately preventing this?

best regards

Andreas

GetObject(, "InDesign.Application")

Hmmm... it seems that a call to CreateObject() in the case of an already running InDesign returns the reference to the running InDesign. So CreateObject() actually does the same as GetObject()... very strange...
