If you are any good at VB programming, you could write a "wrapper" COM object that will accept a simple data type from ColdFusion, convert it to the correct destination datatype and then send it to the final COM object.

I have a client which upgraded there ColdFusion server from 5.x (microsoft based?) to MX or 6.x (java based?). I have a C++ COM component interface/method that takes a SAFEARRAY* as a parameter. Previously with 5.x this method worked fine. Now in 6.x when passing a one deminsional string array to this COM component I get the following error: coldfusion.runtime.locale.CFLocaleDateFormatException:"1st String in Array" is an invalid date. I have tried changing the parameter type in the COM component from a SAFEARRAY* to a VARIANT* but still get the same error. Any insight on this issue or how I can pass my array to a C++ COM component would be much appreciated.
