Python COM vs Visual Basic COM

[Kendall Dugger]

Nope, I have tried r"c:\zebra.wpd" and also used the sys.os
module to test if the file  "c:\\zebra.wpd" exists prior to
running the COM stuff.

Python recognizes that the file is there.  It seems to be an
error with the COM calls themselves.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm still stumped.

It's really frustrating that it works flawlessly under VB,
but fails under Python with almost identical code.
