Limitations of this Approach

• Locked into Wintel monopoly

• Active X DLL requires periodic registry cleanup

  • via a call to DLLUnregisterServer()

• No true inheritance for classes

• Code sharing between stand-alone Visual Basic and VBA is poor

  • VBA can’t use VB’s external files containing code modules -- they must be imported into the spreadsheet file
