[Tutor] Catching OLE error

The problem, as I understand it, is that OLEError is not coming 
from Python but from COM.

So the errors are getting raised before Python even knows there 
is a problem, so it cannot catch them in an except block.
>From my very limited expoerience of COM programming I'd guess 
that there is a type mismatch somewhere either in the data you 
are passing in or in the data you are getting back.

But thats just a guess based on the fact that at lreast 80% of
my COM programming errors have been data type inconsistencies!

HTH,
