Hi,

I just made an ACtiveX DLL using VB6 and packed it. Then I sent the Setup
Package to a customer he is using VB.Net to make program. But he said he can
not get it running.

I wonder the ActiveX DLL made of VB6 can be referenced by VB.Net?

If Yes, how to add the Reference from VB.Net IDE? (I don't have this IDE on
hand, but I have to tell our customer how to do.)

Thanks

Wyne

Yes. You should be able to add it through the COM Reference Tab. You will
need COM.Interop to access it though.
