Good afternoon

I have two class definintions in the same program file, one of which is a timer. When the timer event fires, it calls a method in the first class, which fails. VFP complains it cannot find the called method of a public class, created from an exe ("Object oObjTestCom Not found").

When oObjTestCom is created from the prg file, everything works perfectly.

oObjTestCom = CREATEOBJECT("MyTestCom")   && Everything is ducky, Life is good.

But, when compiled into an exe named "MyComExe" and called like this:

oObjTestCom = CREATEOBJECT("MyComExe.MyTestCom")  && Problem. Get coffee refill.

The Object is created, Proc1, Proc2 and ProcCreateTimer all work.
BUT, when the oMyTimer event fires, VFP errors, complaining it
cannot find oObjTestCom.

The code below is abbreviated, and I am hoping that someone will be able to spot the problem straight away. Thanks for taking the time to look.

Thanks !

File MyTestCom.prg has this (psuedo) code:

Define MyTestCom AS Custom OlePublic
Procedure Init
  This.CreateTimer
EndProc
Proc1..does stuff..EndProc
Proc2..does other stuff..EndProc
Procedure CreateTimer
  * Tried variations with and without declaring PUBLIC oMyTimer
  oMyTimer = CREATEOBJECT("MyTimer")
EndProc
EndDefine

Define Class MyTimer As Timer  && with and without OlePublic
  Set Enabled .t. and Interval to an int val, such as 30000
  Procedure Timer
    oMyTestCom.Proc2  && This line fails from exe "Object oTestClass Not found"
  EndProc
EndDefine

Notes: When running from the executable:
a. We know the class MyTimer gets created because the Timer event fires.
b. However, from the VFP Object Browser, only the MyTestCom class is shown.
c. In the DeBug window, oObjTestCom is shown as an object, but the Methods are not exposed. Also oMyTimer is not shown.
d. We know the exe is running, because it is shown in the Task Manager, Processes Tab.
