COBOL and VB

[emorphis]

I have a Net Express 3.0 COBOL dll that is to be called from a Visual Basic 6 program. The problem is that I cannot get the VB program to recognize the entry point on the dll.

Is there anybody that is familiar on how I can set up the VB program to find the entry point?

From what I see on Net Express Cobol, it produces ActiveX DLL i.e. Com components, not stand alone DLLs. If it is an ActiveX Dll then it must be referenced in the VB project / References and "called" by createing an object instance of the class using "As New" or "CreatObject" and then by acessing the properties and methods.

Crox in the COBOL Discussion forum gave me a very useful link.
