So... does the array property get added with the ciret dimensions but the acopy doesn't work?

Are you sure you are using COMARRAY() on your COM object prior to passing the object reference? I know you aren't directly passing the array, but you are passing an array property of the object to the COM object.

What if you pass the object AND an array from the client... then you can acopy back in the client...

* client....

oX = createobject('myserver.myclass')
commarray(oX, 11)

dime laArr[1]

lnCount = oX.DoMethod( this, @laArr )

if lnCount > 0
   acopy(laArr, this.paFiles)
endif

return

*****************

* com method...

LPARAMETERS toParm, laArr

lnCount= adir(laArr,'*.*')
return lnCount

Not sure what else in the object you need to reference... but, this should work and eliminate the need to loop through and populate the array over COM... although it is happening in aDir.

If you want something a bit speedier, you may want to create a string of the adir info somehow, and then parse it back into the array in the client. This would probably go ALOT faster if you are accessing your COM server on another machine.
