How can i pass a string from within VB to a DLL
 written in C++???

 I have the DLL written.  it works fine, as long as I pass simple long or
 int's, but when I want i pass a String(VB) to a char *, I get this message
 "BAD  CALLING CONVENTION"

i'm not really sure, because it's been ages since i did VB stuff, but adding
'ByVal' to the declaration in VB might work. Or else 'ByRef'. Or something.

I forgot :). But it might help.

the requirements for DLLs used from VB.
