automation interface for specified class cannot be obtained

I am trying to use a TestStand UI Expression Edit Control in LabVIEW to undertake an Expression.Evaluation, but I feel I must be missing something. I have a TestStand UI ExpressionEdit Control on the LabVIEW front panel, and when i try to evaluate it, or anything else (properties or methods) for that matter, the error is always the same:
"Automation Interface for the specified class cannot be obtained. Check if the automation refnum type is the correct class for this operation" Error Code 3008; User defined error code.
Any help tips or pointers would be appreciated.
