Hi Colin,
 
Have a look at the October archives. There are several useful posts
here.

	My advice is:-

	 

	Drop VB as a language!  You can do much more in Visual Studio
2005 with C/C++.

	 

	Other pointers:-

	 

	Get a GUID that is not shared with other DLLs.  

	Use the "COM Visible" setting

	Make a DllMain (even if it does nothing)

	 

	NB:  What you needed in VS6.0 is no longer relevant as it is a
different compiler.

	My problem is that we have Visual Studio 6.0 code (both VB and
C++) that we want to maintain in a forthcoming release

	 

	The company standard is to now use the VB, C++ and C# 2005
express editions

	 

	Opening a VS6 VB application in VB2005 requires it to be
upgraded which is fine

	I've eliminated all the compiler warnings/errors by removing
redundant code  :-)

	 

	However I am unable to register the resulting DLL using regsvr32

	 

	I keep getting

	 

	'fintechnix.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry
point was not found. This file can not be registered'

	 

	and the OpenROAD component that refers to this DLL fails to
compile.

	 

	Regasm is not the answer as its for .NET applications

	 

	The old code never had any 'main()' type declaration so I don't
even know where the entry point should be

	 

	Any advice VERY welcome !
