a VB Question

Hi Dear Friends,
The Question is related to V.B and Activex DLL. I have made a "NomanDll1.dll" file with the following code :
Public Function abc()
MsgBox "My name is Noman Iqbal"
End Function
An Standard Exe Project with the follwoing Code :
Private Declare Function abc Lib "NomanDll1" ()
Private Sub Form_Load()
Call abc
End Sub
Now when I run this standard exe project it gives me an error which is "Run-time Error 453 Can't find DLL entry point abc in NomanDll1"

I don't understand the problem. Can any body tell me that why this error is coming and what is it's solution.

Waiting for your reply.
bye

Plz move it to correct forum

Hi noman you have not given any reference of your dll server in your client application, your client does not know where the dll file is so just go the project->references->browse and give the reference of your dll server

sameer is probly correct...i havent made .dll's
for what you are doing, what i have done, is create .bas modules

Friends, I have added the Dll file in the references also but still the same problem.

Hi Dear Friends,
Friends what I want is that in V.B I want to make a DLL File which would be like Windows Dll Files (e.g user32.dll) which requires it's decleration of methods and can not be imported in the Project-->References.
The decleration is like when we call some Windows API like "ExitwindowsEX" from "user32.dll". It's decleration is follows :
Decleration of ExitwindowsEx : Public Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32" Alias "ExitWindowsEx" (ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long
Waiting for your reply.

Does this have anything to do with JAVA? I realize that it has been posted in the MD forum, but at the very least it needs to be moved to General Computing. Or better yet, maybe a VB forum?

I am going crazy

(sorry noman)
Its a good idea of moving it to General computing

Ok Dear Friends then please tell me a good Vb Forum where I can post this Topic.
Waiting for your reply.

I know of none. Perhaps you could convert your program to Java?

try to register your dll file with the command
regsvr32 "path of the dll file"
