[AccessD] Excel automation code fails

Can anyone tell me why this code returns an "Object does not support automation" error when run from a form code module, but works when pasted into the debug window?  App (A97) references the VBA Extensibility and Excel libraries.

<code>
Dim objXLapp As Excel.Application
Dim objXLWorkbooks As Excel.Workbooks
Dim objXLABC As Excel.Workbook

Dim objProject As VBIDE.VBProject
Dim objComponent As VBIDE.VBComponent


Set objXLapp = New Excel.Application
Set objXLWorkbooks = objXLapp.Workbooks
Set objXLABC = objXLWorkbooks.Open("c:\work\pcpfile.xls")
Set objProject = objXLABC.VBProject

Debug.Print objProject.VBComponents.Count 'code fails here from form module


For Each objComponent In objProject.VBComponents
   Debug.Print objComponent.Name
   Debug.Print objComponent.CodeModule.CountOfLines
Next
</code>

TIA,
