>Hi Eric
>@@You said that VB doesn't support static links, but if you add a refrence like win.tlb to you project and call any functions declared in win.tlb, you'll find that when compiled (native code), the import section of the EXE includes not only MSVBVM60.DLL but also some other DLLs (like kernel32). Why?

When you compile a VB application, MSVBVM60.DLL is not included into the EXE. The proof of that, compile an application, unregister the DLL and your app won't start.
