Hello, I guess you could reproduce my problem, Kartic. I have tried the one u suggested, but sadly it didn't work for me. I think the COM of pywin is quite tricky, or it might be a bug. I have some friends who also had experience of weird behaviors of pywin32, which makes me skeptical of using it in real app.
