Hi Chris,
I am not sure what you mean by modern way but if you use Delphi's Import Com
Library Wizard you'll get number of other options, type safe calls, compiler
checks etc.
A good place to read about COM with Delphi is Marco Cantu's Mastering Delphi
Book ( Any of them from Mastering Delphi 4 to 7 should be good for this ).
Also, Look up the documenation for the COM Object you are using, unless
somebody else has specifically worked with the same COM library you better
look up the COM Vendor's documentaion.
I assume you are in AU, join the ADUG mailing list, you get better response
there. (goto http://adug.org.au/Admin/mailing_list.htm )
