COM is an acronym for Component Object Model.

COM is a platform-independent, object-oriented system for creating reusable software component libraries that can interact.at run time, without having to be compiled into your code.

The following COM functions are available that enable you to work with COM objects.

Use these functions to instantiate the COM object, and then use the properties of that COM object.

The returned reference should be stored in a variable of variant data type. See Variant for more information.

Your COM object references will be released from memory automatically - you do not need to delete or "free" them in your script.
