   Is Handle a variant or a long?

   You might want to look at the typelib, assuming
VBA provides an object browser. If not, you can find
one online.

   There are two limitations with script.

1) You can't get early binding, which VB/VBA can do
by linking to the typelib and then doing like so:

Dim autECLCon as PCOMM.autECLConnList

  If CreateObject works then you should be OK on
that score.

2) There are no datatypes except variant. In most
cases, to use a COM object, that object has to provide
methods that use variants. Sometimes it will work to
do something like:

 autECLs.SetConnectionByHandle CLng(autECLCon(1).Handle)

 (Your parentheses are not otherwise necessary. You
only need them with functions.)

  In that case VBS seems to be able to pass a Long
integer value. But I've only tried it with rare Windows
methods. I think BrowseForFolder used to accomodate
it. So I don't know for certain that it will work in general.
Also, if you have a defined datatype returned by a
function then you're out of luck. In that case your
only option would be to write a VB DLL to cater to
VBS.
