Hi Ron: Why would I need to call anything other than the Application Class
if that is a property defined under that class?
If you are saying that you set the value from within another class and that
that value needs to be set you should return null or an empty string or
something that is a valid return that the OS will recognize.
Also, That is wierd programming. The Getter and Setter, or Letter, as the
case may be if you are using them correctly, should be in the class where
the Property is defined and that class and property should include the
requsit validation on that property prior to sending it out. A default value
would do this.
As it now stands you require a user to access the methods and properties of
classes you define as Private. I am not sure this is a standard Com
programming technique.
If my understanding of the situation is correct let me know so I do not
spend allot of time trying to do something WE is not set up to do under the
Microsoft Framework.
I am not a Software Engineer and do not know how to use more than the basic
features of the languages and Framework of the Windows Operating System.

You didn't call ClientIdentify, or if you did you passed it some value it
didn't understand. The ClientInformation property will return E_FAIL in
that case.
We should probably add a custom error code and return that instead, so as
to make this case easier to diagnose.

Hi: Could you tell me why the following returns the error I detailed?
Note that I use only the Active connection to the Application Object and
It's own properties in the following statement to try and get your value,
it should require no further definition within my application.
What value do you return if the property has no definition or is blank,
empty or whatever?
Here is the statement in question, it is used in context below:
Dim myString As String = _
WEApp.ClientInformation.ScriptFileName.ToString()
Here is the Module:
Imports System
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports Windoweyes
Imports System.Diagnostics
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim WEApp As New Windoweyes.ApplicationClass()
Dim myProcess As System.Diagnostics.Process = _
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess()
Dim MyIntId As Integer = myProcess.Id
Dim MyId As Object = CObj( MyIntId )
WEApp.ClientIdentify( MyIntId )
Dim myString As String = _
WEApp.ClientInformation.ScriptFileName.ToString()
Logger.WriteLine( "My String is " & myString)
End Sub
End Module

Ron, I did try and get them from the application object as I detailed in
my post. I received the runtime error I also detailed in that post. I
still do not have any better idea about what the cause of that error
might have been.
Tomorrow I will try some other things. I will attempt to assign the
ClientInformation and MSAAEventSource Objects from the Application
Object to a General Object type. Then I will attempt to simply read one
of each objects properties. If that works great.
Otherwise I will contact Jamal, I think he was having a similar problem,
to find out if he had any success trying to fudge a solution using late
binding.
But, thank you for your time and thoughtful response.
