I have written the main module of a program, and am wanting to make it a
Word AddIn using VB6.

Before starting I thought I would play with creating an AddIn to get a feel
for how it works.
My steps are as follows:

Open VB6 and choose 'new' project
choose 'AddIn'
On the designer (connect.dsr) choose application = "word"
Initial Load behaviour = "startup"
Create the .dll
Start Word


An error message pops up saying "Type Mismatch"

I have isolated the error down to the line reading "Set VBInstance = application"
And have tested, the application reads "Microsoft Word"

'****snippet****
Public VBInstance As VBIDE.VBE

Private Sub AddinInstance_OnConnection(ByVal Application As Object, ByVal
ConnectMode As AddInDesignerObjects.ext_ConnectMode, ByVal AddInInst As
Object, custom() As Variant)

'save the vb instance
Set VBInstance = Application

'***/snippet***

Any help, pointers would be appreciated.
