>Dynamic COM (DCOM) is used to provide interoperability with Visual Basic.

DCOM is Distributed COM not Dynamic COM[1].

COM does have an interface for dynamic dispatch called IDispatch[2] which is used for scripting languages like VBScript or JScript. It isn't required for Visual Basic though. VB is compiled and supports early binding to interfaces.

Ah yes, that's what I was thinking of. It's been a while since I've worked with COM.
