Ashish,

Basically, DLLs come in three different types: Export functions, resources, and OLE Automation servers. There may be more, but I don't know of them. The first type is represented by the Window API, which allows you to tap into that functionality. The second, can contain icons (such as MORICONS.DLL) or bitmaps (CARDS.DLL). After looking at the DLL with the Quick View option, I can tell you that this definetly isn't the first. There's no export table. That means it must be one of the other two. My guess is that it's an OLE Automation server.

If so, there should have been a file with the extension tlb that came with it. If there is, you can open that file with the class browser, and get the information you need. If not, there should be some documentation that came with it.

hth,
