TLBOUT:[path]filename

  
## Remarks  
 where:  
  
 *path*  
 An absolute or relative path specification for where the .tlb file should be created.  
  
 *filename*  
 Specifies the name of the .tlb file created by the MIDL compiler. No file extension is assumed; specify *filename*.tlb if you want a .tlb extension.  
  
## Remarks  
 The /TLBOUT option specifies the name and extension of the .tlb file.  
  
 The MIDL compiler is called by the Visual C++ linker when linking projects that have the [module](../Topic/module%20\(C++\).md) attribute.  
  
 If /TLBOUT is not specified, the .tlb file will get its name from [/IDLOUT](../Topic/-IDLOUT%20\(Name%20MIDL%20Output%20Files\).md) *filename*. If /IDLOUT is not specified, the .tlb file will be called vc70.tlb.
