Default VBA form imported into VB6 project

Hi guys and gals

I am in the process of converting an add in (xla) into a dll.

As I have many forms in my add in, it is time consuming to recreate
them manualy in VB6. I read that there were some tools to import them
although not perfectly, but even that would save me some time. But
couldn't find any link googling it.

Any ideas to do the import of the forms ?

Cheers
Mika

I strongly suggest you NOT do this. While it is possible it will only
give you grief down the road, depending where/how your DLL is used.
Trust me, it's well worth the time to rebuild your forms with VB6
forms!

If you're converting XLAs to COMAddins, you'll be much better off using
the intrinsic tools provided in VB6.

Hi Garry

I think you are right. Looking at my own forms and code, it should be
titanic work to build such a translator.
ahh well....
