I've tried this way. Under Win95 it works without problems, within
my Visual Basic program I can also start the OLE server with

Set MyObj = CreateObject("MyServer.xyz")

Under WfW it seems that it isn't possible to start a 32bit-OLE server from
a 16bit-application. I got an error message.
After starting the OLE-server from a 32bit-application, the VB3-application
could work together with the OLE-server 

Set MyObj = GetObject(,"MyServer.xyz")
