Accessing DLLs within Excel

[bacigamt]

I have an existing C++ class that I would like to use within Excel. I
it possible to do this (e.g. compile this as a DLL and call as
function within Excel)? If so, how would I go about it

But I don't know that I've ever used one that was C++ (only VB), so I'm not
sure.

C/C++ was used to write DLLs long before it was possible to write them in
VB.
