VBScript arrays

I'm calling a method in a COM Interface that returns a safearray, from an ASP page. VB sees this as type Object but treats it like a normal array. The problem is in VBScript this doesn't happen.

Here's the Code:
[code]
<%
dim msgMgr
dim objXIRMsg()

set msgMgr=server.createobject("XIRLib.XIRMessageManager")
'// Call that returns the safearray
objXIRMsg = msgMgr.getMessages
%>

Right, so in Visual Basic this would work but in VBSCript it throws a Type Mismatch error (error number 800a000d). If I include the paranthesis I get a subscript out of range error, obviously.

The return type of the called method has to be safearray as it's coded in Java. (This is being done as customers have asked for a COM interface to our software)

Am I doing this wrong or is there another way of doing this?
