Mike-

Declare statements, as used in VB, are typically used for Windows API
Calls from core Windows OS component DLLs. 
These Windows DLLs don't require registration as they aren't COM dlls
and as such don't have an entry point for DLLRegisterServer.

COM dlls need to be registered to expose the class identifiers.
Some COM dlls support can support self-registration.

If you get an error regarding the entry point when you try to manually
register EncDec.dll with Regsvr32.exe then it should would with DECLARE.
