DLL Add-in

DLL/COM Add-in - Creating in VB 6

I have written quite a few useful functions that I use across a number of different databases and applications and I'd like to write them as a DLL add-in in VB that I can then call from each of the other apps.

I have no experience of doing this and was wondering what is the best way to go about it and also if anyone can point me to a book or website with good instructions on what is involved, preferably with examples.

antomack,

Use the Search Facility here and look for "API". There will be some examples
of how to call Windows API routines. Other keywords: "browse", "fosusername".

Also, one of the earliest Sample DBs (by Mile - SJMcAbney) uses API call(s)
to get computer system information.

antomack might be asking about something different than the Windows API, Wayne... Francesco Balena (search on his name at Amazon or in the computer section of your friendly neighborhood GIGANTIC bookstore) has written a VB6 and VB.Net book -- both will explain how to create a VB DLL (different than a Windows API DLL) that will allow you to share your code among your projects...
