Empirically, the best way to do this (for me, at least) is to Google for examples. There are a few simple rules to learn on how to map the Visual Basic and C++ COM examples you typically find into Python equivalents. Once you've seen them once, it becomes pretty natural. There are a few more esoteric topics (like indexed properties) that require more exploration, and the pywin32 mailing list is absolutely invaluable for those occasions. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
