Forgive my ignorance, but does anyone know if it's possible to access the functions in an ActiveX DLL (written in VB) from Rbasic?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Spretzz. I asked about calling an Activex dll from RBasic

The control is descibed thus

GISLink.dll is an ActiveX dynamic link library that provides MLink as a public Windows object. The MLink object provides the public functions linkPerform and linkSet. If this object is correctly referenced, then the public functions can be called from a Windows application.

The method in VB is too create an object:-

Set GLObj=CreateObject("GISLink.MLink") ' late binding of object

and then to call the function:-

bRetVal=GLObj.linkPerform(COMP_LANDSPEED_NUM, aParamArray, nQueryLineBase - 1, vCode)

Any advice would be appreciated
