VB????.dll's

[Anonymous]

The ODBC driver setup installed some dll's with the prefix vb into

C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\Archicad Plan ODBC Driver v1.1.0.

Can anyone tell me what they are for as I can't reference them in any VB project.

Marcus.

The currently supported driver is ArchiCAD Plan ODBC Driver v9.0.0.

AFAIK, there is no direct support for VisualBasic to any DLL's other than through the ODBC interface and/or ODBC API functions.

There should be no problem accessing any ArchiCAD PLN ODBC sources from a VB application.

Could you describe the specific problem you're encountering, or are you just exploring? (Microsoft Access is perhaps the easiest and best way to initially explore the available data.)

Thanks, my VB application is working fine using the odbc drivers, I just noticed these files and was wondering about their purpose.

You can usually search for the exact VB???.dll file name (with extension) in Google and it will give you some web sites where detailed info is provided about it.

These particular files have Graphisoft as the creator Company and AC 9.0 as the version info ... so Google won't provide any info in this case. 😉

I see. I actually thought these are files from one of the system folders, not the ArchiCAD folder. Thanks for the gen.
