but its both a function and a property? As I said, I was going by the example given in the thread Matty Linked to. So my DLL has the following:

Public Function ContactID() As String
ContactID = "Hello"
End Function

So i should be able to assign values to contactID right?

No.

ContactID(), in your VB example, is just a function without any input parameters. It can only output a string, nothing more; it isn't a property either. So all you can do in JScript with it is calling the function, you can't pass anything to it.



What you probably want is making a function which also accepts a parameter:

VB (in the public class)

code:

---

Public Function ContactID(inputstring As String) As String
        ContactID = "Hello " & inputstring
End Function

---

JScript

code:

---

var MyActiveXObject = new ActiveXObject('Project1.Class1');
Debug.Trace(MyActiveXObject.ContactID(Messenger.MyName));
