问题
I'm learning how to create an VB6 Active X EXE. (I need to add the ability for a number of VB6 apps to "phone home" to a server and I'd like centralize this but don't want to do it with a DLL because I'd like to only need Firewall permission for one program (the "phone home ActiveX EXE).
I've found a few tutorials but I'm looking for a downloadable project to "play around with".

A tutorial and a project: the VB6 documentation has a good tutorial Creating an ActiveX EXE Component.
A more detailed version of the project is available in the samples that come with VB6. I can't find it available for download - have a look in your VB6 install directory or on the CD.
Dan Appleman's excellent book Developing COM/ActiveX components with Visual Basic 6 has good in-depth coverage of ActiveX exes. You can usually pick it up second hand very cheaply.

This one worked well: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=52172&lngWId=1
This one technicall worked (as an ActiveX EXE) but couldn't get it to actually do the work the ActiveX EXE was supposed to do (download files) : http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=28667&lngWId=1
Tip to allow you to debug both the Host and Server (ActiveX EXE) in VB6:
- You'll have two VBP project files: one for the ActiveX EXE "server" and one for the host app calling it.
- Load each into separate VB6 IDE instances.
- Run the ActiveX one first.
- In the second one, add the ActiveX VBP file (not the .exe) as a reference: (Project > References> Browse... and add the vbp file.
