I have a public User defined type that i would like to use throughout my
code. I have put it in a module.


However, when I have a class that contains a scripting.dictionary of
these types return the Type in a function, I get the following error:

"Only public user defined types defined in public object modules can be
used as parameters or return types for public procedures of class
modules or as fields of public user defined types"


Then, when I try to put the public type definition in the class module,
it complains:

"Cannot define a Public user-defined type within an object module"


What is going on? How can I get around this? It seems as though the
errors are saying two contradictory things. Any help would be most
appreciated.
