I am trying to compile some of my Visual Studio code in OW 1.9.  My COM 
code references the function _bstr_t.  I cannot seem to find this 
function in OW.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zthfhkd6.aspx

Here is the code:

    OLEMethod (DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, & result1, pExcelApplication,
               L"ActiveWorkbook",
               "Getting the pointer of the active spreadsheet 
(GetExcelCurrentSelection)", 0);
    if (result1.vt == VT_DISPATCH)
    {
       IDispatch *pDisp = result1.pdispVal;
       VARIANT result2;
       VariantInit ( & result2);
       OLEMethod (DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, & result2, pDisp, L"Name",
                  "Getting the name of the active spreadsheet 
(GetExcelCurrentSelection)", 0);
       if (result2.vt == VT_BSTR)
       {
          selection += "\'[";
          selection += _bstr_t (result2.bstrVal);
          selection += "]";
          VariantClear ( & result2);
       }
       pDisp -> Release ();
    }

Thanks,
Lynn
