Modifiying and Recompiling ActiveX DLL

[Tom Castiglia]

I have an ActiveX DLL, which I am developing in VB5. I have compiled the
DLL and have been able to access its methods and such from an Active Server
Page (.asp) on a website.

After testing the DLL from the ASP page, I return to VB, make a code
modification, and attempt to compile it again, but I receive a "Permission
Denied, File in use" error message. Same thing if I attempt to delete the
DLL from Explorer or DOS.

I have also tried stopping the WEB Server before compiling the DLL and
unregistering it with REGSVR32. The only way I have found to unload the DLL
is by restarting the whole server.

Is there a way to make my DLL unload when I am done with it? If not, I have
seen utilities which allow one to view all the DLLs currently loaded in
memory, then selected one and end the process. In fact I downloaded one
call DLL Master (a 16 bit app), which did not actually to work with my
ActiveX DLL.

I thought I had seen another utility called DLL Nuker or something like
that, but I don't remember and haven't been able to find it on the web.
Does such a utility exist for dealing w/ 32bit ActiveX DLLs?

Please respond to the group and via email to to...@san.rr.com .

Thanks,
