Runtime Error 380. Invalid property value

Please help me in fix this problem. I have a VB application which I wanted to make it as a windows service. I got a VC++ code which I registered as Service and which will run my vb application as service.

I have a exe file which in turn uses two dll's to run the application.

In one of the init methods of my dll I tried to set a property to my MainForm as follows:

MainForm.ds = Me

When it reaches this code my application stops proceeding when I start it through the service. And sometimes it throws Runtime Error 380, Invalid property value. And says Automation Error.

This doesnt happen if I am not running my application as service.

Please help to fix this problem.

Is your Mainform part of the DLL or part of your EXE? What is the property you are setting?

I have the MainForm in the dll. I am trying to see an object called DataShuttle which has the init method(main class) within which I am trying to set the MainForm.ds=Me. Infact even if I call MsgBox MainForm.caption it doesnt reach there.

Do you use the Set keyword? Set MainForm.ds = Me

Yes, I do use the 'Set' keyword. Set MainForm.ds = Me
