1. This question should be posted in the comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.misc
   news group.
2. put your header declarations in an extern "C" block. The most probable
   cause is that you can't access your functions because of the C++ name
   mangling.
3. If you pass strings to your DLL, be sure that the corresponding
   parameters are declared "by val" in the VB program.

Hi

I was able to generate DLL using Visual C++. but I am unable to use it
(call it) in Visual Basic.  What are the basic guidelines to be taken
in generating/calling functions in DLL.
