[DUG] Returning IDispatch instead of OleVariant in TypeLibrary

[Phil Middlemiss]

I notice in the .pas files for M$ Automation objects (Server tab) such 
as Word etc. that the interfaces return IDispatch.

I can't seem to get my type library to return anything but OleVariant by 
defining a return parameter of VARIANT *. If I try and set it to the 
actual dispinterface that *is* returned, I get an error message saying 
it must return a type of pointer (even when I stick the * on the end of 
it). Same if I try and set it to IDispatch.

Is there some trick here?

Cheers,
Phil.
