    Exclamation Std Modules a security risk?

    Hiya,

    I've heard that having standard modules in a VB ActiveX COM DLL is a security risk? The DLL's should only contain class modules?

    Is this true? If so why???

    Cheers!

    nah,

    i think standard modules are fine... i mean how would you share for instance a global variable between 2 classes in the same DLL?

    you need a standard module for that...

    Does this have anything to do with hackers being able to inject code into the memory space of a dll loaded into memory?
