Hi Nagavij,

re: "Is it possible through VB or some other process to launch InDesign.[?]"

Of course. Just use VBScript. Generally, just creating an instance of the InDesign application object will launch InDesign if it is not already running.



Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application")

You can also use a shell command:



Set myWshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
myWshShell.Run "path_to_indesign"

...where "path_to_indesign" is the file path to your copy of InDesign.

Thanks,

Ole
