Seeing as you posted Python code below I lost my motivation to go poking round in C++ files. :-)

(Although I have yet to find a machine *without* Python installed to try it properly, I need to get VMWare running again.)

Error 0 Is this because there is no currently running version of pythonwin for it to connect to ? Anyway, many thanks.
