Question : VBA to retrieve same defects retrieved by a Quality Center Favorite

I'm creating reports for Quality Center in Excel.  I can retrieve all the defects using BugFactory without any problem using VBA.  I want to only retrieve the defects that match a Favorite.

For example, I have a favorite called MyOpenDefects.  Is there a way to retrieve the settings associated with that specific favorite so I can execute it in VBA?

QualityCenter provides a COM interface.  BugFactory is one of it's objects that returns defects.  BugFactory doesn't appear to take a user's saved search definition so that it only returns those defects that match the search criteria.  As a workaround, I wrote code to parse the search definition and apply the correct filter and sort criteria.  That allows me to use the QualityCenter interface to define my searches.
