wll word template

[arcamot]

Hi

I use a word template with some vba functions in different modules and a command bar where these functions are called.
Our system uses this template from different clients and we have some problems with a centraliced dot file. (i.e. the file is on the server and clients use it)
Question: I thought about converting this template to a wll file and dont use a dot file anymore. Is this basically a good idea? Also, if yes, I didnt find a way to create a wll file, just a normal activeX dll with VB6.
How do I create a wll file?

regards
Sebastian

I'm not sure you can create a wll file outside of C++. You could maybe use VB to create a dll and change the name to wll.

It is not a good idea. Loading a dot file is going to be way more easier than loading a wll file. A wll file probably need to be registered.

If the client PCs can't access the dot file on the server, just have them put the dot file on the client PC. A wll would have to be installed on the client anyway, so you are not losing anything and are making things much easier by using a dot instead of a wll.
