The syntax... the syntax of what? The syntax of the function? Do you mean the function prototype, do you need to know the function's prototype? Or perhaps you want to know how to go about calling that function. Please clarify. Regards, Alvaro

You'd do it the same way you call any COM method. First you need to get a hold of the COM object, and then you can call its method. There are several alternatives: - Import the DLL's type library into your project. Look at the
#importdirective. - Use the Class Wizard to add a class wrapper for the COM object. Open Class Wizard/Add Class/From a type library. - Use one of the template classes likeCComQIPtr(ATL), orcom_ptr_t. - Use theCoCreateInstanceAPI. If my memory serves me right the first option is the easiest -- look into it. Good luck! Regards, Alvaro
