No probs!

I thought about that too - but the very first example I gave :

    intCardCheck = objKort.CardCheck ( 1, "1", 20, "4552xxxxxxxxxxxx", 50,
5, 0,"" ,"" ,"" ,"" ,"" )

works just fine. It's only swapping the "" values for variables that causes
a complaint.

I just tried:

    intCardCheck = objKort.CardRequest(1, "1", 20, "4552629013296348", 50,
5, 0, Cstr(ControlNo), cStr(ReplyCode), Cstr(Message), Cstr(CardType),
Cstr(MessageNo))

Which seems to be accepted by the object, but doing

Response.Write Message

gives nothing I'm afraid, so it doesn't *seem* to be passing back a value.
However this does all seem to be pointing in the right direction, so I'll
give it as feedback to the programmer and see if that helps us get any
nearer the solution tomorrow.

If anyone has any further ideas about this I am all ears. If we can make
this work it'll be big kudos to our company and will help cement an
important relationship we are developing with a strategic partner (hence the
political part of the decision to go with a supplier who doesn't have a
complete product *sigh*).
