Hi!

If you want to make a wrapper for VB COM object in DLL - it is possible. You can also read a lot of articles at the http://fox.wikis.com pages about this_Assign and this_Access methods to use for wraper.

As about other types of DLL - you cannot make them in VFP in usual sense (as DLL that publishes its functions to other applications). DLLs in VFP are for COM objects only.

When your VB DLL is not a COM object, you can make VFP COM object with custom methods that will call appropriate functions of VB DLL. This is a wrapper object around some functions in some DLL. Example of such wrappers - wwIPStuff class library that is wrapper around wwIPStuff.DLL from West Wind.

HTH.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
