PRB: ActiveX Controls Passing Variant* Back to VFP Cause Error

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Creating the Server

1. Create an MFC ActiveX control using the control wizard.
2. Add a method to the control:

         void CMyCtrl::MyMethod(VARIANT FAR* m_pVariant)
         {
         }
   					

3. Build and register the control.

Creating the Client

1. Create a new form.
2. Add an OLE container object.
3. When the dialog box displays, select the "Insert Control" option.
4. Select the control you just built with MFC.
5. Create a command button on the form and place the following code in the Click event:

   ****Begin Example Code************
         xy=space(0)
         THISFORM.OleControl1.mymethod(@xy)
         *****End Example Code**************
   					

   When the button is clicked, the type mismatch error occurs.
