Direct Array parameters don't work well over COM because VFP formats these things in ways that are difficult for COM to handle. However, you can wrap arrays into properties of objects and pass them around pretty easily that way...

This also works for things like .Net COM objects which can't pass arrays to VFP, but can as object properties.
