Problem setting COM property using win32com

[Green, Gregory P]

I am creating the object like so:

   attrs = win32com.client.Dispatch("SmRecList.SmRecordList")

I hadn't noticed the dynamic. I guess I can try to force early binding.

I don't claim to be a win32com expert but I notice two things in your 
message that made me suspicious.

Why are you getting an exception in "dynamic.py" if you are using "makepy"?

How are you creating the prmidattrs object?
