<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have created a dll using VB5 and registered it on an NT4 server using Microsoft Transaction Server. I can use DCOMCNFG to view the appid of the VB application on the client machine and I can view the properties of the component in MTS to see the cslid on the server. <br />
I have been asked to explain how the two are related and I have no idea. I believe that the clsid is somehow attached to the appid to form a logical link so that the client side application knows where to look for the server side dll. Am I close? Can you offer another explanation? Thanks. <br />

Relationship between APPID &amp; CLSID?

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
