but it gives the error message

"Only public user defined types of public object modules can be used as parameters or return types for public procedures of class modules or as fiedlds of public user defined types"

I am trying this in a standard exe
I had declared the usertype in a bas module and trying to pass it to a class module on click of a button.

No...!
you need a dll or an activex...
make a new project, dll type
you will have a class module
check instance property
be sure it is public/global or, in any case, creatable.
declare on top of that module your userdefined type.
in your normal exe, put a reference to the dll.
declare in your form the userdefined type this way:
private/public mytype as yourdllModuleName.YourType
that's all!
