This is how I solved that problem:
If you look at the Tastrade sample, they create a 'Custom Class' call 'Environment' which you can use as
an example to create a similar one (I called it 'FormEnvironment'). Then from the Init event of your Class
form you can type the following code:

*-- Set the environment
.AddObject("oFormEnvironment", "FormEnvironment")
.oFormEnvironment.Set()

That should take care of that problem.
