cannot update dll file in second time
I'm using VB6 (ActiveX DLL) to create the .cls file then make the dll file from there.
After the file was made. I used asp with vbscript to call it. Yes i can call out the data from there.
Now the question is the first time i can make the dll but when i found an error or i change the .cls file in VB i want to make the new version of the dll file, it will prompt out "premission denied". Why i cannot make the second dll file with same name the 1st dll?
my OS is window 2000

I had follow as what you said Stop all the applications that use this DLL, restart VB (or uncheck the references to that DLL, close the project references, reopen to check again). But it still appear the same problem, the dll file is still in used.
The dll file only can make the changing after i restart my PC.
Did i need to do some changing in the window registry? If so how to do that?

If the DLL is still in use after you stopped all the applications, you have some components in the DLL that do not get released properly, and which may have some circular references that keeps them alive.
You might send me your source code of the dll so i could check... (see my profile for the email address)

For debugging ActiveX DLL's you'd better not use InterDev.
However with the correct settings within VB6 and IIS you don't have to restart the IIS Service.
Go to the IIS's website properties and make sure that anonymous log in is desiabled. Now within VB6 you go to the projects properties and in the debug tab you place the url to the site which makes use of the ActiveX DLL. When the object is instantiated on the server it will use the VB6 running version.
that way you do not have to restart the w3svc webservice.
