EXE files cannot be referenced. Only DLL files (class library projects) can
be referenced by another project (to do that, select "Project" -> "Add
reference..." -> ...).

Thanks for the answer.
I am trying to add the reference of a VB.Net exe file into a Visual Baisc
6.0 project.
Is this possible?

TIA
