SUMMARY
When you create an ActiveX component (OLE server) using Visual Basic, a
separate typelib (.TLB) file is not generated automatically. By default,
the type library for the ActiveX component is compiled into the .EXE or
.DLL file. If you are using the Professional or Enterprise editions of
Visual Basic 5.0, you can create a typelib file for any non-private ActiveX
.EXE (out-of-process OLE server) and any non-private ActiveX .DLL
(in-process OLE server).
