debug vs. runtime

I have a third party com object that I am developing an application with, the OS is WinXP. The object contains interfaces that I must implement to get the functionality. I believe that I have done all of this properly and when I test the application in the VB debug environment everything seems to run correctly.

The problem occurs when I compile the app and execute the .exe file. The event on my implementation of the supplied interface are not fired at the proper time.

Has anyone seen this issue? Can anyone give insight as to how to fire the event at runtime?

Any help is appreciated.
