Return array from VB2008 function in COM DLL to VBScript

I've spent quite some quality time with Google, and found that this is a common problem, but the solution has this far eluded me.

I am building a COM DLL in VB2008 Express and have a function that returns an array. VBScript refuses to recognize it as an array though. When I use VarType to check the subtype it tells me 8, which means string. So I checked the value, and apparently it's 'System.Object[]'. I thought I must have messed up the function itself so I checked the result from the VB side, before the function returns it, but over there it's an array all right. That leaves me out of ideas....

Anyone have any tips?
