- >I must of missed your post, but all the 'DLL' makers available for VB
- or trash. The purpose behide them now is sort of asinine. If you need
- to do something over again(ie.Object, form, module) then just
- re-insert it in the new project. Hell you now can make it an OLE DLL
- Server, and use them that way. But making a DLL in VB is ass
- backwards. If you couldn't make it in your VB app, then you sure in
- the hell can't in a VB DLL maker. VC\VC++, Delphi or you only real
- options.

- What are you talking about? This software allows you to make generic
- DLL's -- that means we can create true DLL's via the user friendly VB
- interface, making use of othe VBX's and built-ins. The DLL would not
- only be used in VB, but other apps as well. Also, what about
- distributing code? The DLL makes it easier to release code in a
- secure manner. Lastly, it makes updates easier by only needing to
- ship a paticular DLL(print routines, special drivers).
-
- So you hopefully see that there are uses for modular, VB developed
- DLL's. In the 'Real World' you can't just go out and buy Delphi or
- VC++ without justification( learning curve, training, budget,
- support). You have to make do with what is given you as the tool of
- choice. Once again, by encapsulating some of my VB code into these
- DLL's, if we change languages, I'm all set.
