You are making the OLE/COM objects, and the standalone project uses the same objects, like another application.

You need to change the type of project, of course, but you also need to build class modules, and methods for each class, according to the functionality that you want to "give" to other apps.
There is not a wizard that will do it for you, you must do it your-self.
