[JoshClark]

I'm trying to use a MFC DLL to access VB COM objects in order to white-box test them. The COMs are middleware between a web front-end application and a MSSQL7 database, so the VB references ADO to make the database calls. When I build my DLL in Visual C++, I get declaration errors because it doesn't recognize the types associated with the data connection (_Connection, _RecordSetPtr, etc). I tried importing the ADO type libraries before the COM objects, with no effect on the errors. What typelib do I need to reference and how do I make the call in order to get my C++ project to recognize the ADO types before trying to use them when it imports the COM objects?

You might have to use the raw interface pointers as parameters types maybe even IUnknown and then build your smartpointer instances from them.

You might find more knowledge of this issue in the VB forums with this question.

Good luck
