The documentation of 
this routine says:
long 
GetCreatorID(BSTR 
FAR* 
pbstrCreatorID);

The result of this 
function is -4, a 
table in the 
documentation says 
that -4 is "invalid 
parameter" (buy the 
way you are right 
this error message 
is internally 
created by the 
activex component).
Never the less I got 
the same result when 
I tried
hlpstr : String
instead of
hlpstr : WideString
with delphi.
Therefor I need an 
equivalent 
expression for this 
in C#.

Thanks in advance
