Re: Delphi DLL / VB app

Yep, I think I have that all covered, since it works from both Access
and VB5 once I added the DLL to the list of references via the menus.

So now I'm more closely trying to duplicate what the real app is going
to do. If all it knows (from the registry) is the dllname.classname, I
though it might try to add to the list of references programmatically,
rather than through the menu. In Access and VB5, I added a
References.AddFromFile statement, pointing it at the DLL.
Interestingly, the Access version succeeded -- and the reference
appeared in the menu list after that -- but the CreateObject statement
still failed. With the VB5 version, I could not get the AddFromFile
statement to work.

Still, if the Delphi part looks okay, and the issue is just getting the
VB half to do what the real aplication must already be able to do, then
I'm kind of hosed anyway.
