My questions are..
1. What is the difference between Module and Class module?
2. How can we decide to which module we will go for?ex.. if we are writing a function, will that be put in module or class module..?

Hi
I think that you will have to do some reading.

1 A module is a file (.bas) that you can use to contain functions and public variable that the application will use. these will be called from anywhere in the project.
A Class module (.cls) is a module that you use to develop an object. use in object orientated programming.

2 normal everyday functions go in the Module (.bas)

3. I have no idea.

4&5. Right a Dll and an ActiveX Dll are the same things. These are Dynamic Link Libraries. They are complied bits of reusable code that your program can use to do stuff.
An ActiveX exe unlike a normal exe cannot be run like a normal exe. It is more like a Dll. The difference between an ActiveX Dll and ActiveX exe is that the Dll runs in the process space of the calling program (They share the same chunk of memory) while an ActiveX exe runs in its own space.

If this makes no sense then you should get a book to read might I suggest some thing from Sybex or Microsoft Press.
