If they have compiled their VB code into a DLL, then it will be a COM
dll.  To call any of the functions in the DLL you must first instanciate
an objects see CoCreateObject.  This is the entry point for calling any
functions from a COM object.  If their code is not compiled then I would
search for references on the VB Scripting Engine.

Hi Nathan,
I would need to call VB modules (in a vendor library)
from MS VC++ (under Windows).
Many thanks for any tips you may offer.
Just a phrase to search for would probably suffice.
I haven't been able to turn up anything yet.
