p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
Hi Robet, yeah that's what I end up doing. In the beginning I thought it was the XMPie plug-in, so I removed it and it still gave me the error. This time I did delete the Design Merge and now it works!!
My InDesign is updated so maybe something on the update did not work with the Design Merge plug in.
