How would I do this via a dll made in VB6???

ok? What do you mean?

this dll would have to be loaded into another vb6 program (since vb6 are ActiveX dlls) and then a sub in the dll would have to be called by the loading program. Loading a dll can be done by using the CreateObject() function in VB.

Shell(), exec()

basically I want when the dll is loaded to execute files, kinda like in just a standard exe it would be something like this

Quote
Private Sub Form_Load()
Shell("notepad.exe"
End Sub

edit:
would this have to be made in something like c,c++, or c# by any chance?

no

Program:

Public Sub Form_Load()
    ' create the DLL object here
    Call dllReference.ExecuteProgram("C:\Windows\sol.exe")
End Sub

DLL:

Public Sub ExecuteProgram(Path as String)
    Shell Path
End Sub

Untested. I don't have VB handy.

I talked to him on AIM and it looked like he wanted to execute a by itself .dll as if it was a .exe =/

Calling LoadLibrary executes DllMain, if present.

You can use Windows' rundll to execute a DLL as an executable.

i hope his not making some client server program o.O
