Hi Sarah You may find the following article useful:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_Object_Model COM is a way of creating an 'in-process' object of some other application. For instance in VB you can create a word application object in your code and then manipulate word documents using the methods of that word object as if it were part of your program. The difference with RunRev is that you have to rely on a VB/Vbscript program to create the COM objects. You pass parameters (through shelling out) to the VB/Vbscript program and it can then pass these onto the COM object. This runs in a seperate process to your RunREv app (I think) AFAIK RunRev does not technically support COM, but can use an external process to manage COM objects on it's behalf - which is nearly as good. Look up 'DLL hell' in Google to see the fun you are avoiding... That is the case as far as I know. If anybody can correct me, I would be happy to learn more.
