URGENT Visual sourcesafe Variant problem

[conor0callaghan]

Hey,
I'm using OLE automation in C++ to add more functionality to Visual SourceSafe. I've a problem with my
IVSSItems->get_Item(variant,**bstr) method;

I'm not sure how variants work. I've attempted this before in borland C++ and it was no problem but I've been trying it with Visual C++ and its just not working.
Here is the code.
IVSSItems *pVFolder;
IVSSItem *pVRoot,*pVItem;
IVSSDatabase *pVd


pVdb->get_VSSItem(bstrSpec,0,&pVRoot);

VARIANT_BOOL varb1=false;

pVRoot->get_Items(varb1,&pVFolder);

pVFolder->get_Count(&file_count);

cout<<file_count<<endl;

VARIANT var2;

for(int i = 0; i < 13; ++i)
{
VariantInit(&var2);
var2.intVal = i+1;
//It works all the way down to here but it wont return a
//valid pVItem
pVFolder->get_Item(var2,&pVItem);
pVItem->get_Name(&bstrTemp);

convert->toString(bstrTemp);

}

Thanks in advance
