Will express edition do this?

Hi,

I am currently working at a company and doing some development with Microsoft Visual Basic for Application for Excel. I have ended up creating a bunch of objects that I would like to be able to reuse in different projects. Now, VBA doesnt seem to have some object oriented features that would really make the code easier to maintain and also creating a "library" that I can reuse from project to project is not really possible except in a round-about way (as far as I know). I was wondering if I could use Visual Basic Express Edition to create a library of objects that I could then reference from VBA. In the objects I use ADO to get info from a database so I need to be able to do that. Also, would Visual C++ be better for this I also have the option of getting Visual Studio .NET from the company but Im not too familiar with it so I really dont want to have them spend the money when I may get it and find out that it's not what I want anyway. By the way, I am the only developer on this particular project so I dont need any of the Team features of the full Visual Studio. So, in your opinion. What should I do Thanks.

Mark

    Take advantage of being able to get the full version of Visual Studio and then create your DLL with whatever language you feel most comfortable in.
