: That is interesting.
: I'll test it in 98 for ya.

: You realize the DLL will need to be made in c++ to be generic. VB makes ActiveX DLLs. Really only VB and C++ can really use those, and it is a pain in C++. Since it isn't a generic DLL other languages will have issues or be difficult to make it work.

i was only going this route because it looked like everyone was coding everything in Vb or Visual C++. Plus I was still going to have the command line interface through the exe. That way you can use it you just won't be able to get returned parameters. I'm not going to waste my time coding a c++ dll when I can crank it out in vb in no time. You should be able to access from your flash program anyways because you can always run vbscript from flash. Also I can't see too many people writing frontends for windows in things other than C++, VB, or Java. And who is going to add the over head for java? Plus your going to have other problem with your FE if you use Java. So I think it will be alright.
