Hi @laurence roussel12011930,

How can a single folder contain 70 files with the same name?

Try the following code

function findAll (f, flist) 
{
    var f = Folder(f).getFiles("*.*");
    for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++) 
    {
        if (f[i] instanceof Folder && f[i].name[0] != ".") 
            findAll (f[i], flist);
        else 
        {
            if(f[i].displayName == "etiquette finie.indd")
                flist.push(f[i])
        }
    }
}

var myFolder = Folder(defaultFolder).selectDlg("Select the folder containing InDesign Files");
//var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select the folder containing InDesign Files", "");
if (!myFolder) exit();

var f = []
findAll(myFolder, f)
var doc;
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
//Opens each ID file and runs the 
for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++){
    doc = app.open(File(f[i]));
	doc.links.everyItem().update();
    OpenAndUpdate(doc);
};
