Thanks for that. Now i was trying to use service.ChangeStartMode but each time i pass in an argument i get the error; #TypeError: __call__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) but; >>> print service.ChangeStartMode <function ChangeStartMode (StartMode) => (ReturnValue)> ChangeStartMode needs an argument! What im i doing wrong here? Cheers -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
