Error in C++ DLL init when called from VB

[Stephen Mather-Lees]

Hi -
I have created a DLL in VC++ version 5 as a layer between a VB6 app and a
device driver (the DDK requires VC++ version 5). I get a failure in the C
run time init right after a good exit from the second call to DllMain (which
successfully calls _CRT_INIT, no other init is needed), before my actual
DLL routine gets called. This is impossible to debug (no source from MS!),
and I have tried a lot of different things with the compiler/linker. Is there
a problem with VB6 and VC++ version 5? What am I missing? Any ideas? I can
send code & C++ workspace info if that helps. I have searched MSDN, and the
C++ docs quite thoroughly, also various lists.

TIA, Stephen M-L

Stephen,
I think you missing what we all are: VB7.
Just wanted to make you smile. But if seriously, once I did quite similar
app and ran into same thing. Never got an answer. Sory for not been helpfull.
