Jack,

A .dll or a .exe is compiled code. You run your VB source code thru your VB 6 complier to create such. A .dll is a dynamic link library, that you can use in other programs if you create a reference to that library. For instance, in VBA like Excel, many .dlls are referenced, and others can be referenced using Tools/References for specific types of applications, like ADO (msado15.dll)or XML (msxml4.dll).

To expand,

You create an DLL project in VB.

You can probably bring most of your VBA code into the DLL project and make it work. You may have to tweak a little, but it will work.

Compile and save the DLL.

You must register the DLL. Look up Help in VB.

Once registered, you can simply use it, as Skip stated, like any other reference library. Tools > References. Browse to your DLL and...there you go.
