Thanks, that helps. I can't use a [out, retval], so I'll have to an [in,
out] param. In this case, is the first thing to do the COM method that
returns a new object, call ->Release() on the interface pointer (and then
reset or set to null)?

Another thing, I called the method with a newly created (in VB) MyObject
and found that the reference count on the MyObject was 5 (!). Shouldn't it
be only 1,  since it was just created (I have not assigned anything or used
it in anyway)?

TIA

James.
