I saw someone saying that, to make use of a database, one could make a .dll file.

How can i make it?

dll files ARE very good for manipulating programs exept that dlls are coded in C/C+. You could try making an external program with DB

Erm, there are more languages available that can compile DLLs- not only C(++).

Ogres have layers.

On my web site are the headers for my DLL's - you may find these useful.

What they don't mention is the fact that you need to export functions either using the __dllexport command or stick the function name in the .DEF file

Good news everybody! I really am THAT good...

@skid: are you talking about original DLLs or the new command DLLs? The command DLLs can only be used with a retail version of DBPro. Either way, I can build a VC++ project for you to build from (although I can only release the command one after patch 3 is released).

@empty: you're right, except that they must be proper original windows DLLs (no COM) so that rules out writing DLLs in VB directly.
