rebuilding a VB activeX

[Sujit Chakku]

I call a VB activeX dll from a VC++ as a com object. But each time I make a change in the dll, I need to rebuild the VC++ code that calls the dll. If I don't do that the error message 'Creation failed' appears at the point of invoking the dll.
Please tell where I am going wrong.

In the project properties of the VB ActiveX control select "Binary Compatibility".

This will keep the same GUIDs for the control and its methods and thus not break the VC++ calling program.

If you are calling the dll via an interface, make sure the interface is set to Binary compatibility, and the component itself to Project compatibility.
