I too, am using VB6, and having a difficult time creating a DLL that I can add as a reference in order to do the statement: "Dim objexif As New ExifReader" that is in the example. I have tried to follow the instructions in the links, to no avail. Can you please tell me how I can create this ell in VB6? Many thanks.
I am using ms-access and can't make a dll so I found another way that is easy for a VBA developer.  I used PureBasic to make a dll.  The dll only had about 6 lines of code in it and all of these lines were working code so it was not hard to do.  PureBasic compiles standalone executables so you can compile as standalone 32 bit or 64 bit dll file that will run on windows, Mac, Linux without needing the PureBasic program.  The dll I wrote was for pulling in XMP data. 

Also remember to use ptr safe (?) keyword in your call to the dll to make sure that your code will work if it is run in 64 bit mode.
