I think I missed part of the conversation, but my take on it is that if
you already have a "libpq.dll", it should be fairly straightforward to
map the functions of the dll to VB, just as long as the dll follows
certain rules in how it exports the functions. I have created dll's
before, and mapped the functions to VB quite successfully. The only
thing to worry about on the VB side is to correctly map the 'C' function
arguments and return values to VB data types.
