Weird script error for BitsPerChannel setting

Hello

I hope some of the gurus here can help me with this strange problem.

I have this script which executes fine for certain files but an error on others, so im not sure if there is a specific requirement for a file.

Code: Select all'Save as JPG
Public Const psJPEGSave = 6
Public Const psPNGSave = 13
Public Const psSaveForWeb = 2
Public Const psDocument8Bits = 8

'exporting
Dim objExportForWeb, outFile
objFile.BitsPerChannel = psDocument8Bits
Set objExportForWeb = CreateObject("Photoshop.ExportOptionsSaveForWeb")

Thats mode code... the script will exit at line: objFile.BitsPerChannel = psDocument8Bits

is there certain requirements for the file for this line to execute properly?

Thanks in advance

I don't use VB so I'm just guessing. The javascript version of BitsPerChannel is a document property. is 'objFile' a document or a file?

Set objFile = objApp.Open(imageLocation&"folder\"&filename)

Its a file

Mike,

Thanks to your comment, although it didnt directly solve my problem but it made me aware of the cause

Thanks again

I glad you got it working. I wish we had more members that used VB or Applescript. Most of the active members use javascript.
