Making a DLL?

I have taken over management of two app's authored in Visual Basic Editor in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.

The first app was written in Word's editor. It calls the .PPT app in the background.

The .PPT automates the process of taking X number of images stored in a local directory and making them into a presentation.

All the code works fine, but I wonder if it is possible to convert these applications into some sort of executable which I could launch from a web browser. I have seen where a web request might go to "file.dll?qs1=xxx&qs2=xxx" before, or to a .exe.

re: Making a DLL?


go to your command prompt, and enter the following : (everything is on one line)

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\vbc.
exe /t:library "filename"

where filename is the full directory of the file of which you want to make a dll, it also have to be between " ", the dll will be created in the directory where where the file is.

Hope this helps.
