[AccessD] Array faster in DLL?

Hi Jim

I see now what you mean. 
No, that is indeed not complicated.

>>Private Declare Sub ShuffleArray Lib "gustavsdll" (ByVal p1 As Long, ByVal p2 As Long, ByRef aSomeArray() As Long)

Versus:

Dim oMyArrayTool as gustavdll.ArrayTool
Set oMyArrayTool = new ArrayTool
oMyArrayTool.GoGetThatArray(lngP1, lngP2, MyArray())

Admittedly more code but not that complicated (same result either way).  One an API note I have seen components that had COM and API style interfaces.  I don't know if API style access is inherent in COM objects though.  Could those developers have create two interfaces to the components?  Maybe someone else can answer that.

Hi Jim

Well, I mean _not_ complicated, like:
Private Declare Sub ShuffleArray Lib "gustavsdll" (ByVal p1 As Long, ByVal p2 As Long, ByRef aSomeArray() As Long)

>>more complicated than a Windows API call
Not sure what you mean by complicated.  Is there an API you can call to do what you need?  If so then a DLL may be more work or steps than is needed.  If not, what choice would you have?
