It can? According to a link someone posted the other day, the key to calling
exports from a VB DLL is to perform a couple of tricks when loading the DLL:

I was having a little problem with some test code though. I really would
like to see a small demo that installs a WH_KEYBOARD hook and crashes when a
key is hit in another project.

I was wondering about that as well. It's not clear to me if Sub Main in a
DLL corresponds to a call to LibMain or what exactly.
