Transform() is a method in XFRX.
I have the code and didn't see anything suspicious in it.
BTW
This:
loSession.TransformReport(...)
takes 2 additional handler BEFORE it even starts its code :-)
I put ASSERT bfore that line and STEP IN the code.
Immediately after LPARAMRTERS line 2 handlers are opened :-)
