Re: VBScript OCX receive and supply a safeArray of type VT_UI1- problem

I beg to differer.  Its Variants are wrappers that can contain a multitude 
of different data types.   Hence the existence of "vartype".

I could.  But as the MS documentation to SysAllocString contains a warning 
about autoconversion on it I though it would be better not to use it.  It 
would no doubt bite me in the behind when I could least use it. :-\

While replying to JJ I realized that if the problem is the auto-conversion 
of the SafeArray when its stored into a variant by VBScript I should try and 
see what happens when I also provide a variant to method #1 so the SafeArray 
can be stored into it - possibly bypassing the auto-conversion.
