making dll files from tutorials , then editing / changing code of dll

[locutus]

I have been following some tutorials on how to make my own classes and dll's . My problem / question is when I create the class I complile it as a dll file ( on File -> make abc.dll ) after when I open the source code and add another property or method , when I try to recompile the dll I only have the option to make project exe and the make dll option is gone , why is this ? I suspect it is something to do with the dll being registered in the registry on build. How do I get round this , do I need to unregister the dll , if so how is this done.


Also , a college has put a db on a clients machine , the client wants to be able to do some basic db manipulation but doesn't want to put access on the machine as it is an old machine ( 100mhz ) I suggested putting visdata on the machine to allow basic manipulation as I think this is a much smaller app. Can this be done without installing VB and will visdata be copyrighted against this or is it a shareware type thing .

Cheers Guys

locutus, if you did install the MSDN Library, then you should be able to get the VisData Source
code at the following file path.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN\2000JAN\1033\SAMPLES\VB98\visdata

All you need to do is juz open the Visdata.vbp and compile an exe and proceed to use the Package and
Deployment wizard to create the setup program before you use it to install on your colleauge computer.
