(Sorry, tied up this arvo so I could respond to your suggestion earlier.) Here's part of a debug session. (Pdb) type(Synergy.StudyDoc) <type 'instance'> (Pdb) type(Synergy.StudyDoc.GetFirstTet) <type 'instance'> (Pdb) Synergy.StudyDoc.GetFirstTet <COMObject <unknown>> (Pdb) dir (Synergy.StudyDoc) ['_ApplyTypes_', '_FlagAsMethod', '_LazyAddAttr_', '_NewEnum', '_Release_', '__A ttrToID__', '__LazyMap__', '__call__', '__cmp__', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__g etitem__', '__init__', '__int__', '__len__', '__module__', '__nonzero__', '__rep r__', '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__str__', '_builtMethods_', '_enum_', '_fin d_dispatch_type_', '_get_good_object_', '_get_good_single_object_', '_lazydata_' , '_make_method_', '_mapCachedItems_', '_oleobj_', '_olerepr_', '_print_details_ ', '_proc_', '_unicode_to_string_', '_username_', '_wrap_dispatch_'] (Pdb) dir (Synergy.StudyDoc.GetFirstTet) ['_ApplyTypes_', '_FlagAsMethod', '_LazyAddAttr_', '_NewEnum', '_Release_', '__A ttrToID__', '__LazyMap__', '__call__', '__cmp__', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__g etitem__', '__init__', '__int__', '__len__', '__module__', '__nonzero__', '__rep r__', '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__str__', '_builtMethods_', '_enum_', '_fin d_dispatch_type_', '_get_good_object_', '_get_good_single_object_', '_lazydata_' , '_make_method_', '_mapCachedItems_', '_oleobj_', '_olerepr_', '_print_details_ ', '_proc_', '_unicode_to_string_', '_username_', '_wrap_dispatch_'] I'm pretty green with this kind of introspection (but willing to dig in and learn). With the VBS code seems like GetFirstTet is a method of StudyDoc that returns a variable which converted to string yields "TE1" etc. But that doesn't seem to be true for python. Is there any other way I can find out what attributes etc are available to the GetFirstTet instance? The type library is not supplied with the app. so if my basic understanding is correct, I can't early bind. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
