Hi Mark

Not sure if I got what you suggested correct. The
method I am trying to use is defined as:

def SyncWrite(self, NumItems=defaultNamedNotOptArg,
ServerHandles=defaultNamedNotOptArg,
Values=defaultNamedNotOptArg),
Errors=pythoncom.Missing):

I have tried calling this different ways:
grpPinWheel.SyncWrite(NumItems=num, ServerHandles=sh,
Values=listval, Errors=errors)
grpPinWheel.SyncWrite(NumItems=num, ServerHandles=sh,
Values=listval, Errors=pythoncom.Missing)

I still get the same error.  I have also tried using
arrays and lists for the variables but these don"t
seem to make a difference>

cheers
