Well, VB.net (2005) can create a standard windows "com" object, and they can be used like any other automaton object. Thus, if your .net program is correctly registered as a windows com object, then yes..you can use it. You have to use reams from the .net tools to correctly "register" that dll. I would ask this question in a .net group... If the .dll is written with being used as a com object interface...it should be usable.... This process is mentioned here: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/cominterop.asp#PART2 While the above example is vb6, the same process would work for ms-access...
