You need to have a definition file like this:

LIBRARY mhook2
EXPORTS
MouseProc
InstallHook
UninstallHook
TrackMouseLeave

MouseProc, InstallHook, UninstallHook and TrackMouseLeave are the functions you want to make available to other programs.

Then you link this (assuming you use Hutch's MASM32):

\masm32\bin\Link /SECTION:.bss,S  /DLL /DEF:mhook2.def /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /LIBPATH:\masm32\lib dllfile.obj

where dllfile is the filename of the dll.  It will also create an import library with a lib extension which allows your source files to treat the dll as a lib.

You can get more info at win32asmboard.cjb.net but make sure you try to use the 'search' button at the upper left of each page, if you don't the people there might ask you to do that anyway.  Or try win32asm.cjb.net specifically Iczelion's Tutorial 24 for more info on DLL's.
