Hi, Thanks for the reply. I will then write a COM for my COM to handle it Regards, Christian

Hi, I'm trying to use a com object to get some information from a program that is running. I am able to use AutoIt to control the program via the com object. Dim $PlotManObject = ObjCreate("Pmhost.PlotMgrCtrl") $PlotManObject.SendCommand(0,"AddGroup", "Test123", "D:\Header.jhf", " ", " ", " ", " ", " ", 1308265) However to get the information from the program I have to use: Dim $return2 Dim $PlotManObject = ObjCreate("Pmhost.PlotMgrCtrl") $PlotManObject.GetStatus(0,"GetProjectTreeText","1;1","",$return2,1308265) MsgBox(0,"",$return2) This should give me a string in $return2 It works i VBA with this code: Set pmc = CreateObject("Pmhost.PlotMgrCtrl.1") Dim rResult As Variant Dim lRet As Long pmc.GetStatus 0, "GetProjectTreeText", "1;1", "", rResult, VarPtr(lRet) MsgBox rResult I just can't figure out whay AutoIt won't return the string for me? Does anyone know? Regards, Christian
