Thank you very much for the info. I have looked at some of them before, I will look into the others.
BTW were you able to pass string and integer (int32) arrays to your com callers (VB6)? If you did, would you mind post a a prototype or two? As for ComVisible, that was recommended by the C# help. I just dug up some info on my other VB project. I was using a template sent to me. I forgot aoubt it all togther. Under "My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ItemTemplates\Visual Basic", there is a ComClass.zip. That zip file has ComClass.vstemplate and ComClass.vb. With the template in place. I did not have to manually use TLIB or anything, just write code and build. All I have to than run my COM client against the project. with VBScript, I was able to use myCOmObj.function(...) instead of myCOmObj.object.function(...)
