The application that I'm attempting to call is an MS Visual Studio
executable and I'm primarily working on WinXP. I've never worked with COM
objects, so any help in this regard that you could provide would be greatly
appreciated. But like I explain in my post below, I would like to call it
multiple times and have all of this done in the same session.

Not at all the right construct. What you are seeing on WinXP is the use of
a
COM object in a separate process. This **only works** if the "receiving"
application is coded to accept it.
*If* you are on MS Windows, you need to look at the COM implementations
available. On other platforms there are other equivalent methods.
You need to state which OS and which application you are attempting to
"feed"
for more detailed help.
