Hi Dominic:

This should work:

HINSTANCE globalHInstance=0;  //global variable in your .DLL
HBITMAP   hToolBit=0;

BOOL WINAPI DllEntryPoint( HINSTANCE hInst, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID
/*lpvReserved*/ ) {
  bool result = true;
  switch( fdwReason )  {
   case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
     globalHInstance = hInst;
     result = InitWindowClasses( hInst );
       hToolBit=LoadBitmap(globalHInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_SYSDATE1));
     break;
   case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
         if (hToolBit)
          DeleteObject(hToolBit);

     break;
  }
  return result;
}


Saludos
Sebastian
