  Hello,
  

  
  I am trying to call an ActiveX Dll from VBscript in ASP. The Pass By Reference call takes a String array and a Long as arguments. In the DLL I have changed these to Variant so that ASP will understand them, like so:
  

  
  Public Sub EnumerateAllSections(ByRef sSections As Variant, ByRef iCount As Variant)
  

  
  In the ASP code I have declared the variables with just the DIM keyword, as shown below:
  

  
  Dim sSections
  Dim iSectionCount
  

  
  And I call the Sub in ASP as shown here:
  

  
  With m_cIni
                 .Path = "F:\from vinny\DOCOweb\settings\formats.ini"
                 .EnumerateAllSections sSections, iSectionCount     ' this line always gives an error
  End With
  

  
  I have tried declaring sSections as an array with () but whatever I try I just get a Type Mismatch or Subscript our of range exception.
  

  
  I have googled for solutions and I think the above would work for a String but not a String Array, and I can't figure out why!
  

  
  Any suggestions on how I can deal with would be greatly appreciated
