help with a com object

[Kiss, Arpad]

Hi,
Next time please attach the traceback too.
Otherwise try to convert the thePath to string before any usage of it. COM
communication uses unicode, but in Python it can cause errors. In your code
os.listdir and "thePath + x" expression generate error messages. Use for
example "os.listdir(str(thePath))" and "os.path.isfile('%s%s' %
(thePath,x))".
