Returning arrays from VB/VC components or VBScript to JavaScript in ASP
Hi,
I was reading this topic and hope now you can help me shortely.
I try to return an array as return value from a vb com function to an asp
vbscript array variable.
dim arr()
arr() = mycommfunction(dd)
this is the vb function:
Public function mycommfuntion(byval dd as string) as variant()
You wrote here that you haden't any problems to pass the returnvalue to a
var in VBScript.

could you give me a hint how you've done this?
thx
