Hi

It has been sometime since I have done any pure VB programming. I need
to set up in Visual Basic 6 something like a dll that has common
functions I can use in Microsoft Access, Excel and VB Projects. I am
am sure I did something similar years ago in VB 5.

I have created a class which stores all the code for the function
procedures but from my projects I have to reference the instance of
the class instead of just calling the function.

I am sure I did this last time without having to set up a class. I
have tried a Standard Exe project but it wont allow me to connect to
it.

Any ideas please?

Kind regards
Tim ffitch
