Thanks to Jim and Dave for the replies so far.

I found the following lines of wisdom in MSDN:
If you do not specify a path for libname, Visual Basic will search for the 
file in the following order:
Directory containing the .exe file
Current directory
Windows system directory (often but not necessarily \Windows\System)
Windows directory (not necessarily \Windows)
Path environment variable

So:
Extract file from resource file and write it to 
Drive\Users\UserName\Appdata\ProgName
Change the Current Drive to The Drive of Users\UserName\Appdata\ProgName)
Change the current directory to Drive\Users\UserName\Appdata\ProgName

VB then finds dll in the second place it looks. Seems to work OK. In exe and 
VB IDE.

I don't use any antivirus software, Being so file has .dll extension will 
this cause any problems?
May be someone with VB6 and antivirus software can test this for me?

Thanks for reading

Ivar
