Well, the GetNamedData() function returns data as a variant which needs
casting. If you have a user defined structure, then there isn't a
default cast for it, but what you might be able to do, is write a VB
function that could rip the Variant apart into the structure you need.

The only issue is, I don't know how IDL would handle a request to
return a structure in this way. If it returns bits, then you're ok, but
if it doesn't know what to do.. you probably will just get an error.

Let me know if you figure it out, I've never tried that before.
