Hi all,

I have a vb active X dll project and would like to get a a type
library. I used MIDL but I am having problems. Also, what the
difference between type library and dll? Thanks

Try Googling for "Generating type library from VB dll". You will be amazed
with the wealth of information that returns.

I believe there is an option when compiling an vb activex dll that allows
you to create a dll for remote execution... I believe this option will
automatically create a type library for you... But if you need to edit it
then I would suggest you do the google as the previous responder
suggested...

FYI, this option is only available in the Enterprise Edition.
