I am trying to use an ActiveX control which, exposes a function that modifies the arguments sent to it. The arguments sent to the function are of type VARIANT not references to VARIANT. I attempted to send references but FoxPro returned an OLE error of type mismatch. Consequently, the ActiveX control's function can't modify the arguments passed to it (i.e. the parameters are being passed by value not reference). How does one pass parameters to an ActiveX control and have those parameters return with the modified values?

Any help in this area would be appreciated.
