registering Activex dll

Hello everyone,
I do not use vb much, and am working on a project that invovles accessing dll libraries created with vb from other languages. To test my code, I created a very simple dll in vb and am trying to access it, but having problems.
I assume I need to register my new dll before I can access it. I tried to register my dll using regsvr32, but I got the error message "file opened, but could not find DllRegisterServer entry point. Cannot register file."
Should this file work without being registered? If not, what do I need to do to register it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Welcome to the forums. :wave:

A Dll must be registered to be used.

Compiling your Dll should register it for you.

Your installation and setup package should register it on any client machines on which it is installed.

Great. So after compiling my dll it should automatically be registered and I can then access it no problem, correct?

In theory, yes, that is correct.

if you want to register a dll on another machine you can use a batch file
to register the dll. and unregister it(I have a example at home if need one).

You can also do it mannually using regsrvr

Note: do not delete a dll before you unregister it
