Ah yes, I forgot about that. Definitely a good idea. Inside the function he
could then convert to any data types he wants.

This also probably explains why the Cstr() on the inbound parameters didn't
work -- all VBScript variables are Variant type, period. When you Cstr() you
are actually creating a "sub-type" of string, presumably which only VBScript
understands, but it's still a variant.

Oh well, hope you get it working. :)
