Hi,

Was trying to connect via COM but keep getting this error:
com_error: (-2147418113, 'Unexpected failure', None, None)

I checked my system and the TWS ActiveX control is registered. Also
the app is running (build 769.1) and logged in to EDEMO account. It
is also set to accept connections.

I'm using Python to connect, code as follows:

tws = Dispatch("TWS.TwsCtrl.1")

which works and creates the object exposing all it's methods and
properties.

However, when I try to connect:

tws.connect('', 7496)

I get the error. I've tried specifying the IP address as well, no
difference.

Anyone done it this way or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

In VB this (tws.connect('', 7496)) Would be:

tws.connect "",7496 [Double Quotes not single quotes]

Other than that don't know no pYthons

Tried that as well (Python allows either) but no luck.

Thanks anyway.
