query regarding NULL result without error in COM code

[Ken Guest]

hi,
I've run into a "NULL result without error in call_object" system error
after using the DefaultDebugDispatcher in the COM code that I'm writing.

(This error wasn't being raised before hand, when I didn't specify which
dispatcher was to be used. The reason why I'm now using the
DefaultDebugDispatcher is that there's an error happening later on in my
code that I have to get to the bottom of).


The error happens when I try to create a 'COMObjectServer' in some VB
code:
Set svr = _
VBA.CreateObject("renre.gps_layerstats.Objects.COMObjectServer")


Now the python code that I have for this is as follows.
(The sample code in the docstring works fine if I don't use that
DefaultDebugDispatcher)
I've checked through chapter 12 of the "Programming Python on Win32"
and through Google and can't find anything that suggests a solution.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could please help shed some light
on this.
thanks

class COMObjectServer:

Tested and found to be working with the following code:

Private Sub Document_Open()
Dim svr As Object
Dim obj As Object
Set svr =
VBA.CreateObject("renre.gps_layerstats.Objects.COMObjectServer")
Stop
End Sub


set obj = svr.object("renre.gps_layerstats.Objects.LatestRunObject")
f = obj.num_tabs_required()
print f
