returning list of strings from Python COM to Visual basic 6

[Philippe C. Martin]

Thanks a bunch,

I'll try this, This raises two questions:
1) How do I declare the receiving VB variable ?
2) Then, can I use the returned object as a COM object: call its public 
methods (that would be hot)?


Dim newobj as ?????
newobj = acom.Get_Obj()

newobj.A_Public()


Regards,

Philippe
