Hi,
I am trying to add a reference to third party DLL file that has worked OK in VB6 but I am getting an error message.
The error message is check it is accessible, a valid assembly or Com comp[onent.
How do I know whether it is valid Presumably as it function in VB6 and it is a DLL it should function in VS.
Can anyone help me if I send the DLL to them
Thanks

Including a DLL file in VB2005

If its a valid COM component then it will need registering using Regsvr32 or using the installer package if its a Commercial 3rd party component.
Once it has been installed then adding a reference in a VB 2005 application should be as simple as
My Project -> References -> Add Reference >- COM Tab -> Browse and point to the dll file.
This should work just fine for COM components.
VB 2005 works just fine with COM components.
