I remember reading somewhere that the standard DLL's you create in C
for Win32 applications are not directly loadable in Visual Basic 6.0
without minor modifications.
When I was reading that I thought, well there is no need for me to
remember this since I never use Visual Basic.
Two weeks later my boss is asking me to create a utility and he wants
it in VB, I have created a DLL for the utility and I wrote the DLL in
C, except when I attempt to load the DLL in my VB app I get the error
message stating that there is not valid entry point to the DLL.
Of course remembering the article I read I go searching for it with no
luck.
Is anyone else familiar with this issue who can tell me what changes I
need to make to my DLL so that I can call if from Visual Basic?
Thank you in advance,
Anthony

Download this file:

It's a self-extracting archive of a text file that explains
the requirements for DLLs used from VB.
