After packCopyData(...) returns, the arrays are destroyed, which will probably void their contents. You must keep them alive until you don't need the COPYDATASTRUCT instance any longer. For this kind of stuff, ctypes may be easier to use than pywin32. Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
