How would I call a COM AddIn from a standalone application and pass it a parameter
Something like create a word document from the application and pass to the COM AddIn the current open word document?

Thus being able to execute a certain Sub or Function within the COM Addin and pass it parameters?

Hi Adam,

Please have a look at the following blog post:

You can pass parameters by using the args array of the InvokeMember method:
