Hi Jeff:
According to the FSDN, this function was introduced in version 7.0.
I did a search in that version for GetObjectInfoByName which returned
the following files:
builtin.jsd
Microsoft Excel.jsb
Microsoft Excel.jss
Microsoft Outlook.jsb
Microsoft Outlook.jss
MSN Messenger.jsb
Msn Messenger.jsm
MSN Messenger.jss
MSOffice.jsb
