SaveFileDialog breaking up

[saadabc]

Hi - I have the following code to get a FileDialog box... the code is working in the development environment but when i build the solution and install it on another machine - it gives an error at the line

If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then


The error says 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Why is that - and how do i fix it ....







Friend WithEvents sfdRMSecurity As new System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog

With sfdRMSecurity
.CheckPathExists = True
.Filter = "Excel files|*.xls"
.InitialDirectory = "c:" 'Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal
.OverwritePrompt = False

MsgBox("before Dialog shown")

If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
MsgBox("after dialog shown")
saveName = .FileName

Else
Exit Sub
End If
End With

sfdRMSecurity is declared by Form Designer in the Windows Form Designer declaration area. It is then initialized in the InitializeComponent() routine.

when i run the code in the development environment hitting F5... the dialog box appears... but then i run on a test machine - and it gives me that error message...
