Thanks Gary. I'm happy to take advice from COM hackers as well as COM
experts.
Unfortunately it didn't help.
The problem seems to be that it can't find the method, rather than there
being a problem with the method parameter.
For instance, if I change the call from
<cfset oMsg = oMsgMan.CreateMessage(oMsgType)>
to
<cfset oMsg = oMsgMan.Connect(oMsgType)>
it then gives the following error, which I understand as that method does
not take any parameters.
An exception occurred when accessing a Com object field.
The problem seems to be related to the subgroups shown via OLEView.exe for
the AHC.Messenger object. The IDispatch ones are accessible (e.g. connect),
the IHCMessageManager methods (e.g. CreateMessage) seem to need some other
syntax to get to them.
Phil.
