CS2 Javascript crashing InDesign works as 2 parts and in CS3.

The only thing I found that stop the script crashing InDesign was to comment out the myDocument.print(false) and put in an alert to check if the path was correct and it works.

I have a feeling that the print process may be trying to execute before the slug area is created.

Can anyone suggest a way to check that one function or part of the script is complete before the second part starts?

The error I get is:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusale way. Please contat the application's support team for more information.

Once I click OK the InDesign is gone.

What do you mean by "crashes"? Is there any error message, or does it simply exit?
