help with a com object

[Scott Hathaway]

Everyone,

Thanks for your help!  I now have the COM object working, but PHP it seems
cannot handle the string.  I will post into the PHP group and see if anyone
knows why.

It seems that I am doomed to knowing just enough about many languages to be
extremely dangerous and not knowing enough to be good in any of them.  the
only language I am really good at is VB and I am frankly ashamed to admit
this.

:)

Scott
