Hello All,

After finding several examples (some conflicting) I have run into an extremely frustrating situation.

I prefer to code with declared variables (Option Explicit), it usually makes debugging much easier. However, with in trying to select a labeled object, I'm running into some nasty problems.

If I declare an application object like "Dim myApp as InDesign.Application" I immediately get a type mismatch error when I try myApp.select. I also, cannot seem to declare a selection object i.e. "Dim objSelection as InDesign.Selection"

Here is a sample snippet of some test code I have - before declaring variables.

Set objIDApp = GetObject("", "InDesign.Application")
    Set objCurDoc = objIDApp.Documents.Add
    Set objCurPage = objCurDoc.Pages.Item(1)

Set objTextFrame = objCurPage.TextFrames.Add
    objTextFrame.GeometricBounds = Array(0, 0, 20, 30)
    objTextFrame.TextContents = "one"
    objTextFrame.Label = "one"

Set objTextFrame = objCurPage.TextFrames.Add
    objTextFrame.GeometricBounds = Array(20, 0, 40, 30)
    objTextFrame.TextContents = "two"
    objTextFrame.Label = "two"

Set objSelection = objIDApp.Selection
    objSelection = objIDApp.Select (objCurDoc.TextFrames.Item("one"))

After I try to declare the application, even without "Option Explicit", I get a type mismatch error.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Scott
