>Do you use HOME() or Foxtools.fll anywhere in the project?

You may be onto something. Exactly what, I don't know. Not HOME() (as far as I can remember), but Foxtools. When I place the library in the same directory as the script. It works properly. When it's not there it doesn't. The first ERROR statement is by-passed. Why? I dunno.

But further, if the library isn't loaded (in the Init), then the object shouldn't instantiate. It does, however.
