This is a complex subject that can quite invloved. There is no way I could tell you how to do without vertualy re-writing the VB Help Files. What you appear to be trying to do is possible. You need to look up ActiveX DLLs or even an ActiveX EXE file. Look up Class Modules and how they differ from ordinary VB Modules. Run some of the examples provided in the VB Help files to get a feel of what is going on. Then apply what you have learnt to your own project. Have a look at the VB Support files on Microsoft. There is a mine of information there. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh%3Ben-us%3Bvbb&x=18&y=15&sd=msdn If you have more specific problems get back here and I am sure somebody will be able to help you.

I guess it would depend on what exactly you are trying to do and what is involved within both projects. A DLL would work fine but you have to ascertain whether or not it is really required or not. It may well be that there is a relatively simple solution. For example, it may be that you need a third program that just calls an executable. If the need will be to pass information project to project then an external component will be needed I guess. But yes, the Microsoft documentation on such examples is pretty good for a change so I would recommend having a trawl through. I think I have confused myself now! Global
