    Hi, Can you suggest me if we can convert existing ActiveX DLL( created in Visual Studio 6.0) to ActiveX EXE? Thanks in Advence.:) Thanks, Anand.

      Once again, your question doesn't make any sense: an ActiveX exe doesn't exist. You just have a plain executable. Of course, you can use an activeX inside an executable. You could still restart a new project and copy paste some code or classes but that's not very efficient. Also, as I already asked, more information would be usefull: what does this activeX do ? What are you trying to achieve exactly.

        Hi, Actually I am having DLL with ActiveX interface exposed in it, which I am invoking through script. Previousle it was getting included in IEXPLORE memory space, but now I want it as a stand alone application which will run in its seperate Memory space but still want to invoke through scrpit. Hope this makes sense now. Thanks, Anand.

          And why don't you simply create a simple application that just wraps the ActiveX ? You just add the control to your application and write some code to handle it.

            Yea .. I was thought of that, but i dont want to change the ProgID in script so the same ActiveX interface want to call from script, but that interface should run separately in separate Memory space ... i think to convert DLL to Executable is the better option, so i just wanted to know wheather we can convert DSP file so that it will get compiled into EXE.

              :confused: Could you clarify that because I am completely lost...

              I don't think it is a good idea (but I don't really see what you are doing neither). Because trying to convert two things that are unrelated doesn't make any sense to me. It is a little bit like if you were asking how to convert the engine of your car into a car :~ . An activeX is a component of your application like the engine is a component of your car (I know that is a poor analogy but it shows you the logic).

              If you really want to do that, you'll need to restart a new project, copy the file that you want to reuse, and probably modify quite a lot of things in order to make it work. EDIT: sorry, the blockquotes were not at the right place :rolleyes:
