Update Link function throws an error in...

Hi,

Iam using the update() function in the Link class to update a dataLink in the document. But when I execute the update command, Indesign throws an

error ''Error String : update'' . Can any one tell me why this doesnt work?

Example:

function UpdateAllOutdatedLinks(){

var myLinks = myDocument.links;

for(var myCounter = myDocument.links.length-1; myCounter %26gt;= 0; myCounter--){

?var myLink = myDocument.links[myCounter];

?if (myLink.status == LinkStatus.linkOutOfDate){

myLink.update();

?}

}

}

Hi,

I have a similar problem using JS links.update();

I get no error but the method seems transparent. My link is not updated :-(

I use something like :

myLink.relink(File(xxx));

myLink.update();

and yet, I have to update manually the links in the UI.

I saw similar posts all around but none of the tricks I used from them produced any improvements.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.
