I meant that the dll crashed Excel wenn I stopped the debugging mode and
also if I used it in a VB-projekt it crahed that when stopped.
This happend with DLLs which had a Bool or Int as return or were only a sub.
If I tried to return a String (marshalled to CString) the dll just plain
crashed when called.

Thank you for the links. I am working through them and hope it will get
better.
Do I understand it right that I will get a dll that can be incorporated into
VB but is not a com-dll or is it a com dll just by being able to be called
from VB?

Thanks,
Andreas
