[DUG] Cant convert varianttypecastError to OleStr

[Paul A Norman]

Dear Phil,

Just to help me understand, what is the story with the empty member [] ? It
appears to be part of the locate function call, is there a bracket missing?
Is it meant to be an array member?

Otherwise, not sure but I know that there are issues when using VarArrayCreate
Routine (which you are not *directly *doing) with "The element type of the
array, given by the VarType parameter, is a variant type code. This must be
one of the constants defined in the System unit. It cannot include the
varArray or varByRef bits. The element type cannot be varString or a custom
Variant type. To create a variant array of strings use the varOleStr type
code. "
