    Can't you use a project group to...

    Can't you use a project group to test a DLL, or ActiveX exe the same way you do to test a ActiveX Control?

    Or do you have to have 2 different instances of VB open?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, the VB Books Online (VB5 only ) says that a project group is the way to go, one project to design it, and one to test it.

    Thats funny.. cause according to this Transcender MCP Pretest software it says you have to have 2 projects open to test an activeX EXE. it says one for a DLL though.

    That is true.
    An ActiveX Exe runs out of process and and ActiveX Dll runs in process. That is why you can use one project for the Dll and two for the EXE.
