STDMETHODIMPL MyCOMClass::VBMethod(VARIANT * vt) { SAFEARRAY *psa; if(vt == NULL) return E_POINTER; //assuming safearray consists BSTR. if not change to appropriate sa datatype if(vt->vt != VT_BSTR | VT_ARRAY) { return E_INVALIDARG; } psa = vt->parray; ATLASSERT(psa != NULL); //use safe array here return S_OK; } Hth, Ramu
