Environment: VC++4.1/MFC/OLE, MSDN( basic ), Win95 / Windows NT3.51
Net Gurus,
I am trying to implement a OLE automation server which can take(Set) a data 
type which is very general such as pointer to void.  Automation 
Controller(Client) and Server both know what this data means, so how to cast 
this data.  I was thinking about using VARIANT to do this, but due to lack of 
documentation on use of VARIANT for such a purpose, I am not so clear on this.  
In future the client and server may reside on different machines on the network.

Does anyone have a sample on how this is done?  Any pointers in this direction 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I remembered one or two articles in MSJ talked about VARIANT. I forgot which 
issue though. But if you are subscribed to MSDN, maybe you can search through 
the MSJ they included in.
