    Can I wrap a .DLL with ActiveX EXE?

    I have to convert an in-process DLL made in VB6 to an ActiveX EXE. Can I simply reference the DLL from within the EXE and make calls to it (adding needed events), or should I rewrite the DLL from scratch?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Re-write it, you don't want unnecessary dependencies etc...

    I wrote an exe calling functions from my DLL after it was created and tested. The requirements had changed.
    So I created a regular EXE that uses the DLL. Our client's application just makes calls the the EXE.

    Sure it will work, but the best thing is to convert the DLL to avoid depencency.
