The python error is correct in that you are trying to assign a value to a python function call, which is outside the python syntax. VB syntax uses the () to indicate a index operation which you can assign to, there is often an extra call in the Python interface to the com object to get around this, use makegen.py to create the com stubs and look in there for the actual function call. Often there's a container object and it will have a Items() or something on it to get into the container to set a value or whatever..

The calls seem a little strange to me (overloaded functions or something like that) and I was wondering if anyone can help. The interface is defined here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmrm/ht m/headerattribute.asp If I use the python command line, here is what I get >>> headerObj = win32com.client.Dispatch("Wmrmobjs.WMRMHeader") >>> headerObj.Attribute("name") = "value" Traceback (SyntaxError: can't assign to function call As I need this to be run as an asp, I seem to be getting different errors there. I get a 500 as the response and on the win32traceutil I see a TypeError as shown below. Thanks. Anesh.
