This will set a variable “x” to every guide in your doc thats green… Hopefully!

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
	--return properties of every guide of document 1 -- turn location to properties for abit more info
	set props to properties of every guide of document 1
	set x to guide color of every guide of document 1 whose guide color is green
end tell
x

This should get the location of that guide…

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
	--return properties of every guide of document 1 -- turn location to properties for abit more info
	set props to properties of every guide of document 1
	set x to location of every guide of document 1 whose guide color is green
end tell
x

cheers
