how can i use VB created DLLs from java. Does these DLLs have the same formats
as C++ created DLLs? Please help me with this as soon as you can

a COM wrapper should work.

With J++ 6.0 you can create a COM DLL wrapper that will convert your DLL into
a java class. I have not seen this work and there will be platform issues,
but it looks like the best way to go.

If by java, you mean J++, then use this method. Otherwise I would advise
against using J++ for anything. Sun, IBM and others provide more current
Java COM wrappers. See other postings in other groups.

Not that easy. You could load the library in java and access the methods
via JNI, but this has its own problems. Probably best bet to look for third
party COM to Java bridge.

Formats depend on the compiler as I understand it.
