You can create this DLL. VFP DLLs are only COM Servers so you must define a class that can handle all your requests, something like:

***** Your main program
DEFINE CLASS MyTest AS Custom OLEPUBLIC && OLEPUBLIC is neccessary word while you making a COM Server
   PROCEDURE Test
       RETURN "This is a Test"
   ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE

In your other application you can do:

myTest = CREATEOBJECT("DLLFileName.MyTest")
MessageBox(myTest.Test)

For more detailed info you can check HELP "Automation and COM Servers" section.
