A Visual Basic OLE server can be of three types:
- 32-bit InProc Server (32-bit .dll)
- 32-bit Local Server (32-bit .exe)
- 16-bit Local Server (16-bit .exe)
This article summarizes the order in which OLE servers are searched when a
client makes a call to a server that has all three possible types
registered on the computer. This search order depends on whether the client
