Sounds like you probably don't have a reference to InDesign in your VB project (a very easy thing to forget). What you want to do (in VB6 anyway, I assume it's the same in your version) is select Project\References, and scroll down and check "Adobe InDesign 2.0 Type Library".

This needs to be done for any VB project for which you want to script InDesign.

Then VB will recognize objects such as "InDesign.Application" and won't assume they're your own "user-defined types".
