JJ,

> There's simply not enough information to see what went wrong.

As far as I can tell nothing goes wrong.  Its just a question of how to 
handle what I'm getting presented.


Your suggestion to give a propertyget/propertyset combination an ID of Zero 
did work.  Its just that I've than tried to use the VBS commands as 
described in my initial post, but not getting the expected results (I do not 
see a propertyget / propertyset - and sometimes errors are thrown).

Though I found out that all objects are supposed to be able to be part of a 
'collection', and that the first "( )" is supposed to indicate which element 
of the collection the object is supposed to be.

IOW, I can now write

MyArray()(3,4) = 42

and

wscript.echo MyArray()(3,4)

and see my object be accessed - and than throwing an error because it wants 
to access a method, not a property.

Personally I do not have a problem with that "lets just call a method" 
behaviour, but I'm now having a bit of a problem in trying to figure out how 
I'm supposed to discern between a "write" and a "read" action on that 
function ...


Does that give you a bit more to work with ?  If not, please do tell me what 
you need.
