Yes, that's done the trick - thanks. I missed it the first time you
mentioned it cause I was so caught up in trying to just get the thing
reloading without errors.
I can now set the return value of a method to one of my dispInterfaces.
Is this a good idea or should I just return an IDispInterface (concerned
about cross language compatibility)?
Cheers,
Phil.

I'm not sure if this is your issue or not, but...
I'd mentioned in my original "buggy type library" response the
following:
* Under Tools, Options, set the Type Library language to Pascal,
not IDL.
* Under Tools, Options, set the SafeCall function mapping to All
v-table interfaces.
You may also need to look at some of the items on the Flags tab in the
Type Library editor for the interface/method you're working with.
You could look at those settings, and see if they affect what you're
trying to do.
Cheers,
C.

I notice in the .pas files for M$ Automation objects (Server tab) such
as Word etc. that the interfaces return IDispatch.
I can't seem to get my type library to return anything but OleVariant by
defining a return parameter of VARIANT *. If I try and set it to the
actual dispinterface that *is* returned, I get an error message saying
it must return a type of pointer (even when I stick the * on the end of
it). Same if I try and set it to IDispatch.
Is there some trick here?
