    Joe,
    Thanks for the pointers but I still don't know how to use the
    IEnumerable::GetEnumerator to be able to loop over the list of objects I
    have. I have tried the following code but got an error in for trying to
    type-cast groups.

    ArrayList* usersList = new ArrayList();
    System::Object* groups = de->Invoke("Groups", NULL);
                                    
    while (((IEnumerator*)groups)->MoveNext())
    {
    DirectoryEntry* groupEntry = new
    DirectoryEntry(((IEnumerator*)groups)->Current);
    usersList->Add(groupEntry->Name);
    }

    It would be great if you can just show me how to use the
    IEnumerable::GetEnumerator in order to loop over the list of objects I have
    (groups*). Thanks again for your time,
    Albier
