Hmm, native OLE works fine :) I'd definately recommend trying that first.

That function is a convenience wrapper around GetRecordInfoFromTypeInfo,
but we don't implement that either. In fact I'm not sure we support UDTs
at all. Implementing this part of OLE Automation would take a fair bit of
work. I'd try native DCOM first.
