What you would really be doing is creating an instance of a class within the DLL, not an instance of the DLL.
To do this, there must be at least one OLEPUBLIC class in your DLL.
In a procdure DEFINE CLASS myclass AS custom OLEPUBLIC
In a visual class, check OLE Public in the first tab of the Class Info dialog.

The call should be

p2k = createobject("five2k.MyClass")
