>> Something like storing them in a Generic Variable then converting that generic variable to a string?
The closest thing to it would be to store each of the SAFEARRAY members into a VARIANT (which...

Anything is possible when you don't use structures/API's correctly. Only access "bstrVal" if "vt" is VT_BSTR.
The call to SafeArrayGetElement() looks...

>> I need to convert the VARIANT to SAFEARRAY?
V_ARRAY() is a macro that accesses the "parray" member of the VARIANT - just like V_VT() accesses the "vt" member.
If the vt member is "VT_I4 |...

>> Additional question, is this the correct way to get the contents of the array?
No. You access the SAFEARRAY member of the variant using V_ARRAY(). Then use SAFEARRAY api's -...

VARTYPE is a bit-field. So an array of BSTR's would be "VT_ARRAY | VT_BSTR" etc...
