Chad Ullman offers this great QTip, that makes working with external Win32 DLL’s much MUCH easier:

QTP’s Extern object is extremely useful for extending the power of QTP by exposing all of the Win32 API. However, because Extern is a reserved object in QTP, it is instantiated once when QTP starts and persists through all your test runs, and this can cause all sorts of problems. Luckly, Chad shares his simple yet very effective QTip for overcoming these problems.
