I found messages in the archives that resemble the problem I'm having, 
but none of the solutions I saw there helped. I'll try to provide enough 
information to get help from someone here.

PROBLEM: My implementation of DllEntryPoint does not get accessed. 
Setting a breakpoint in DllEntryPoint is ignored when debugging my DLL. 
Placing a call to MessageBox at the top of DllEntryPoint never pops a 
message box. Thus, I think it is simply being ignored.

Environment: BCB6 on XP Pro

My host application loads the DLL using LoadLibrary, unloads using 
FreeLibrary. It is a console app, and the "Build with runtime packages" 
option is disabled in Project | Options | Packages.

I do not implicitly link in the DLL (that is, I do NOT include the .LIB 
for the .DLL in the project files).

I can set a breakpoint anywhere else in the DLL code, and the 
application breaks as expected.

I placed DllEntryPoint at the bottom of one of the implementation files. 
(Does a declaration need to exist in my header file?) Here is what it 
contains:

#if defined(EEWINDOWS)

#include <windows.h>

BOOL WINAPI DllEntryPoint(HINSTANCE hinst, DWORD reason,
                           LPVOID reserved)
{
	switch (reason)
	{
	case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
	    break;
	case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
             for (int cookie = 0; cookie < MaxMetaFiles; cookie++)
             {
                 if (MetaFileList[cookie])
                 {
                     EEx_Exit(cookie);
                 }
             }
	    break;
	}
   	return TRUE;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#endif

Conditional define EEWINDOWS is defined in Project | Options | 
Conditional Defines.

Thank you for any guidance you can give me.
