Genius! Thank you very much.
Can this example be added to the PHP Manual? All the online examples I've seen relate to functions which you can pass the first few params and no more. In this case having to pass the first and last param is not mentioned. This simple example demonstrates the use of php's VARIANT() type and now to call functions that use it. Thank you VERY much!!

The > GoTo method, as a function, in VBA would be ... sooner or later everything ends up in a native c(++) function call and there are no such things as named parameters. therefore nonpresent parameters will be assigned a default value (iirc NULL if no explicit default value is specified.) so try calling GoTo(wdGoToBookmark, NULL, NULL, "BookmarkName"); or, if it doesn't work $empty = new VARIANT(); GoTo(wdGoToBookmark, $empty, $empty, "BookmarkName"); the difference is, that there exists two different variant types with nearly the same meaning, VT_NULL and VT_EMPTY. PHP's NULL will be marshalled to VT_NULL, VT_EMPTY has to be created by explicitly creating an empty variant container in php. ad. your previous question: there are two other ways of importing a type library, you can either com_load_typelib("Word.Application") which will search for the typelib assigned to that component or you can enable com.autoregister_typelib in your php.ini which will cause php to load the typelib for every component you instanciate. harald -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
