I have the following situation:
I have a (quite large) VB6 dll which I compile in VStudio.
Then, without changing anything, I recompile with binary compatibility set
to the dll compiled just before.

I have a standard exe, an activex dll and an activex exe.
The standard exe references the dll, as does the activex exe.

Please help,
Jack
