This is one of the interfaces in my project and it compiles without any problem in both Vc 6.0 and VS 2003. I have'nt tried VS.Net 2002 but it should work. The only difference is that mine is a IUnknown interface interface IMyInterface : IUnknown { ........ HRESULT MyFunction( [in] SAFEARRAY(BSTR)* inputArray); }; FYI, The implementation of this method in ur .h must look like STDMETHOD(MyFunction)(SAFEARRAY** inputArray); Hope this helps. prashu

I saw the EXACT same thing today! I have not yet fully investigated the matter further - I was on my way home when I spotted a method of mine, OpenService, having the name OpenServiceW. I am not 100% sure of what's going on, but it wouldn't surprise me that there's some function in the system headers that looks something like this: #ifdef _UNICODE #define OpenService OpenServiceW #else #define OpenService OpenServiceA #endif If you want to, you can investigate this and post what you find - that ought to be good reading tomorrow morning :) -- I am perpetual, I keep the country clean.

Whaat? Not RC1/2
