In general, it's impossible to use 16-bit VBXs or whatever 16-bit DLLs with
32bit VB. In theory, one of the recent versions of Borland C++ (I can't
recall by the moment if it was 4.x or 5.x) was said to be able to generate
32-bit VBXs. You need, however, to have the source code for that case, and
given a source code it's better to recreate the file as OCX. Moreover, the
32bit VBXs are a sort of Borland's invention, they're not officially
supported by Microsoft, so even if you get some, it's not sure whether they
will work with VB4.

It's not easy, I have read about it in the Visual Basic Programmer's
Journal when I was thinking of using VBX in 32bit. I bought me an OCX
instead

Why not have a look in the documentation?

Gee, I'll take a second and answer the question instead of being smug
..sheesh! Some People..

Colin,

16 bit VBX's cannot be used in the 32 bit environment.

Hope this helps

A mind which has been expanded by a new idea,
never returns to it's original dimensions.

From what I understand and I know very little, I'm new to VB, is that
Only the 16 bit ver5sion supports vbx's, I haven't seen the six{*filter*} bit
version but once i get my cd back i will install it, supposedly in the
16 bit theres a conversion utility to convert it to ocx. Then you can
use the ocx in your application, but as i said i'm not sure. I recently
got VB4, Before that the only thing i had was Qbasic that comes with
msdos. Ack!
