ZoomToSelectedFeature Error

Good day,

I am new to python and am having the following problem. If I type the following code into the Python window in ArcMap:

import arcpy
MXD=arcpy.mapping.mapdocument('CURRENT')
dataframe = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(MXD, "Layers")[0]
dataframe.zoomToSelectedFeatures()
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()

It works when run from the python window.

If I save it as a python script and add it to a modelbuilder model then try to run it from there it does not work.

This is the message that displays:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Executing (Zoom To Selected Feature): ZoomToSelected

Running script ZoomToSelected...

Traceback (most recent call last):

Failed to execute (Zoom To Selected Feature).

What am I doing wrong with trying to get this to work from modelbuidler?

Thanks,

Chris
