Hi David,


I'm not sure if many of us here are familiar with Win32/COM stuff.  If you
don't get a good answer from us, you may want to email the python-win32
list on this one.  Here's their link:

If you can report on the error message as well, that will be helpful for
people, since it might give a hint why the approach isn't quite working.


There are two potential errors I can think might happen at this point:

    AttributeError --- it doesn't know 'objApplication.Sessions'.  Perhaps
        the variable has a different name.

    TypeError --- 'objApplication.Sessions' isn't a Python sequence.
        (Dunno what to do in this case.)


If you can tell us which one of the errors pops up, we might be able to
hunt down more information about this.


Anyway, good luck!
