It is possible to use dot net stuff in vb6.

The article has you reference the tlb, not the dll. I thought that was
weird.

and the regasm is a little different.

Anyway, I don't have any direct answers , but maybe that article can help a
little.

Thanks for your reply.

The app im working on is currenty being re-written in .NET but the
completion date is about a year away :(

Until then we can only work with what we have.

The .NET DLL I am calling is an interface to a web service written in
C#. So the only way I can do as you suggest is to call the web service
directly from VB6. I have been looking at doing this using the SOAP
Toolkit but Im also have trouble getting this to work.

If you know of any examples I could use as a reference I would be very
grateful.

Regards

Fred
