That's "fine" in your case, but each time you try to replace the DLL, you
have to unregister the old one before replacing it, otherwise you will have
problems. This only work with late binding(by using CreateObject), but not
with early binding(Selecting the DLL/OCX as a reference or control in
another project, because it's GUID based, not object name based like
CreateObject).
