hi crawley, please submit a bug report next time, i check them more recently than the mailinglist. 'it doesn't work' is also a poor description of the problem. looking to your interface definition i think the problem is, that you have to specify these values as VARIANT* because you can't pass them by reference otherwise. there is already a bugreport refering to this (i can't remember the id), search for it if you need more infos .. -harald.
