 What's the differance between a ActiveX.dll and regular dll's

        I have recently learned how to create a ActiveX.dll with VB5.
I have learned that the dll can only be used as an instance of a dll
object.  Why is that.  are these dll's different from other dll's ie:
like those created in C++, where the programmer can  access a dlls
functions through function calls...?

Thanks

Yes, the ActiveX dll's really are VB applications, that can act as OLE servers,
but not as "real" dll's, as you can create with other compilers.
