Hey Jawahar,

You've got the failure characteristics switched around--a failing .dll will
bring down the entire client app, whereas a failing .exe lives & dies in its
own process.

Have a look at:

for further details.

All,
As A starter in VB I am a little confused by the ActiveX.exe and ActiveX 
dll
I am correct in saying that an ActiveX.exe i a standalone component that 
can be used in a VB application and if it failed then the Application 
would also fail!
An activeX Dll on the other hand is not stand alone and does have to be 
part of a VB application (Embedded) but if it fails the the VB Application 
will not fail
 
Is this correct?
Any feedback is always welcome
Thanks
Jawahar
