PythonCOM and Office. Arrgh!

[Matthew]

There's hope yet.

This amongst other calls to PythonCOM do work

>>> xlapp.Workbooks.Open("D:\\fred.xls",None,1,None,'fred')
<COMObject Open>

Read only with password does as it should

So far as I've tried, 'in order' parameters do definitely work. It's a start
but I'd like to figure why named keyword stillappesr to do nothing. Keep those
interested posted...matthew

PS: Config is win200, Office97 and ActiveState2.0/2.1
