bluelight--

It's likely that the Duplicate method is returning a Spread object, not a Page object, and that that's the cause of your type mismatch.

Many of the values returned by InDesign can be of more than one value type--so it's best to either a.) turn Option Explicit off and leave the variables undeclared (i.e., don't use Dim), or b.) declare object variables as Object, rather than as a specific object type (which is what you'll have to do in VB.NET anyway).

I'd also note that VBScript doesn't use strong variable typing, and that if you're planning to create a VBScript version of your script it's better to use approach "a."

Thanks,

Ole
