Conversion from CS3 to CS4 - closing files without saving

Question

One more issue...
I'm making temporary changes to a book and a document so I want to close the documents without saving. This is what I'm currently using.
                myBook.close(SaveOptions.NO);
                myDocument.close(SaveOptions.NO);
What seems to be happening is that the file is saved anyway. No Save As window opens. I've looked in the Object Model and it looks like CS4 uses the same syntax as for CS3. Any suggestions?

It looks like you're trying to add an existing CS3 document to a new CS4 book. InDesign wants to save the CS3 document in CS4 and so gives you the Save As dialog. You can either go through all the existing CS3 documents you'll be adding and save them out from CS4, or add a few lines to the script that will do it. (Change the variable name I used if it's used somewhere else in your script.)
// Creating book
var myBookFileName = myPath+"Personalized Modules/PW.indd";
myBookFile = new File( myBookFileName );
myBook = app.open( myBookFile );
myBook = app.books.add( myBookFile );
// Add the front cover
myFilename = myPath+"Personalized Modules/PW_Cover.indd";
myFile = File(myFilename);
// Save cover document in current version
myDoc = app.open(myFile,false);
myDoc.save(myFile)); // will overwrite CS3 file with CS4 file
myDoc.close();
myBook.bookContents.add(myFile);
// Add the rest of the individual files
I didn't test this code. Let me know if you have problems.
