Simple Problem

[manishmenghani]

Hii

I m stucked into a very simple problem , please help me

I had developed a Standard Exe proj and anActivex Dll proj .
In the ActiveX Dll proj , I created a module and add a public sub into it say "Create()". Now I want to call this sub from my standard exe proj . Ihad given the reference of that proj also even though it says method not defined .

-------Standard Exe proj -------

public sub Main()
Create
end sub

--------End----------


----Active X Dll-------------
----In a module-------

public sub Create()
'VB Code Inside
End sub

-------End-----------

what could be the problem ????


Thanks in Advance

To the best of my knowledge, anything declared Public in standard modules is accessible only in the same project. So if you want the Create() procedure to be available to other applications, either make it a public method of a class in the ActiveX DLL, or create a public method in a class which will execute this Create() procedure which is in a standard module.

Put the Create function in a class module, and change the class module's Instancing property to 6 - GlobalMultiUse.
Then you will be able to use it as a global function in the Standard EXE project that uses the DLL, but not in the ActiveX DLL project.
If you want to use it as a global function in the ActiveX DLL project, you need to put it in a module.
If you want to use it as a global function in both projects, put it in a module and make a GlobalMultiUse class that has a function which simply calls the function in the module.
