Jecki,

Yes, you can definatelly call the DLL from Visual Basic. You first need to tell CVI where the function lives and the prototype for it. For example if you created a DLL called MyDll with a function int MyFunc(int param) you would have to do something like this at the top of your VB file:


Declare Function Myfunc Lib "MyDll.dll" (param as Long) As Long


this tells VB the prototype of the function and you can now call it anywhere.


Dim RetVal As Long
Dim Param As Long

RetVal = MyFunc(Param)


I am sure you can find some more info on this on the web, the DLL created by CVI is just a standard DLL.

I hope this helps.
