How to create a DLL without using classes.

I want to write a DLL that would be used like a subroutine repository. I don't want to write a class and then use the methods, because I don't want to have to change all of the calls to each of the procedures. This DLL would then be accessible just like a DLL written in another language, referenced in my project, and used after declaring the DECLARE statement for the procedures.

Thanks for your response.

Hi

The simple answer is .. you can't

VB only allows you to create ActiveX DLL's - if you want to create a standard windows DLL, you'll need to use a language that can create them -

C, C++, Delphi, Modula2, Pascal etc


An ActiveX DLL can be used by any programming language that supports COM -

C++, Delphi etc

you CAN achieve what you want, although you HAVE to create a class, but that's NOT a problem.
Just set the Instancing property of your class module to GlobalMultiUse!
that's it.
Now in your client programs, add a reference to that AX dll and call the "methods" like regular functions and subs! It works!
