Well the tutorial before was not for a COM DLL, it was simply for a standard DLL, although i can't remember where it was, there is a nice tutorial on UR showing how to create an 24bit alpha blending c++ DLL headed "Writing a C++ DLL for VB " here, <http://www.ur.co.nz/alpha24.htm> There is also a fairly simple example showing how to pass strings too and from VB and a C++ DLL here <http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q187/9/12.ASP> As for writing a COM dll in vc++, i suggest searching through MSDN <http://msdn.microsoft.com> . Although it's not actually that hard to do (i picked it up in a day or two) the next best place is <http://www.developer.com> visit the Visual C++ Discussion forum. It's the best place to ask a question IMHO. HTH Adam
