If you go that route, a word of advice...set the project for binary
compatibility. If not and you change something significant it could break
compatibility with earlier versions and you'll run into some nice DLL
Hell.

fwiw, If you compile without maintaining binary compatibility nothing needs
to change at all. Just the act of recompiling will break it because VB will
generate all new interface IDs for all public members. Not a single code
change required. Also, it must be "maintained". Some just set it and forget
it. Big mistake.... the errors you get are far more confusing when the dll's
only partially broken. Here's a quicky "primer" on the subject.
