GetIDsOfNames returning -1

[ForNow]

Hi, I am writting a COM app using the MFC wrappers There are however certain methods/properties which don't have C/C++ prototypes so I decided to use native OLE functions I never got by GetIDsOfNames as what ever method name I insert I get a -1 I have tried native OLE

CoInitialize(NULL);  //native ole
CLSID clsid;         // initialization
HRESULT hr = CLSIDFromProgID(L"Excel.Application",&clsid);

and the MFC wrappers function

_application::CreateDispath

as this method populates

m_lpDispatch

And whatever method property I use I get -1 Any help appreciated

You need to use the GetLastError function[^] to determine why it fails.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
