I'd like to know wich DLL(s) I need to install on the computers that will run my VB programs. I don't want to use the assistant because most of my apps are located on the server and the users do not each have a local version on their machines. I guess that my question could also be "Is there a way to compile the procedures or the entire DLLs used in my project into my final EXE?"

Stephane,
If you create a VB app with no other third party tools/utilities then all you really need is the MSVBVM60.DLL file. You can not compile this into your EXE.

Now if you use ActiveX controls then they also have to be distributed as well as their dependency files. And regarding the applications running from the server, if you have ActiveX controls, the EXE can run from the server but the controls need to registered on the local machines or the application won't work.
