Can I use this COM object?

I think that GetParameters may not have an overall return value, but instead returns into each of the variable names you specify.

I agree with you.

$oSC.eval("oTask.GetParameters TaskType, TaskOptions, TaskFlags, Source, Destination, Comment, CompressLvl, CryptoLvl")

Unfortunately no change, still fails with error 80020009, so the other statements are not processed.

See if more COM error info is available...

Try adding

#include <IE.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

to the top of your script -- COM error details will be output to the SciTe Console.

You're right, it does

--> COM Error Encountered in ShowJobs2_vbs.au3
----> $IEComErrorScriptline = 32
----> $IEComErrorNumberHex = 80020009
----> $IEComErrorNumber = -2147352567
----> $IEComErrorWinDescription = 
----> $IEComErrorDescription = Syntax error
----> $IEComErrorSource = Microsoft VBScript compilation error
----> $IEComErrorHelpFile = 
----> $IEComErrorHelpContext = 0
----> $IEComErrorLastDllError = 0

This works

$oSC.eval("oTask.GetParameters (TaskType, TaskOptions, TaskFlags, Source, Destination, Comment, CompressLvl, CryptoLvl)")
$TaskType = $oSC.eval("TaskType")
$Comment = $oSC.eval("Comment")
ConsoleWrite("TaskType: " & $TaskType & @CRLF & "Comment: " & $Comment & @CRLF)

@Dale - Thanks again, I have learnt a few things through this exercise.

I will play around with native AutoIt and see if I can get that to work as well.

Cheers

On the basis of the last post I would have thought this should work

$oTask.GetParameters($TaskType, $TaskOptions, $TaskFlags, $Source, $Destination, $Comment, $CompressLvl, $CryptoLvl)
ConsoleWrite("TaskType: " & $TaskType & @CRLF & "Comment: " & $Comment & @CRLF)

Perhaps this is a bug
