In your original mail, you indicated the makepy generated code for the args:

> ((24584, 3), (11, 1), (24612, 3))

Arg1 is an array of strings (as you are passing).  Arg2 is a bool (an int
will work fine, as you have done).  Arg3, 24612==pythoncom.VT_RECORD |
pythoncom.VT_ARRAY | pythoncom.VT_BYREF - so arg3 wants an array of these
records.

Hope this helps,
