accessing the calling vba project

hi

i have a dll file with my common forms and functions created in vb6. one of
the forms is one that allows the user to select multiple drawings to batch
(to do whatever i want it to do, in one case a routine updates an specified
attribute in a block). these forms and functions are accessed from a
routines in autocad.
this multiple select form has a next button on it, and when clicked hides
the form and then my code from autocad displays a non common dialog (ie the
dialog appropriate to the routine).
On this dialog is a button to start the function (the function is within a
module in the vba routine in autocad) that actually does something (ie
updates the blocks).
after all this, i have a sub in the common functions (vb6) which batch
process all the drawings given some parameters and a macro to run... this is
where the problem is... originally i had the batch dialog and batch sub
process in a vba routine inside autocad, but decided to ship it to a dll
file. And once i've done that, the dll file can no longer find or access the
macro which i send to it, i get the error, 'Failed to run VBA macro'

so.... is it possible to access a sub/function from an external dll file,
that is within the current vba project which has called the dll file to
begin with

any help would be great...

cheers

I'm certainly no expert, but have you checked that the required
functions/subs have a public scope now that you've moved them outside the
project?

Also, what dialog are you using to build a list of paths/filenames to batch
process? I was considering working on a similar tool but I wasn't above to
find the required controls.
