There are lots of odd things about how COM objects work from CF. I haven't tried instantiating one from Application.cfm, because in general, I think that's a bad idea - do you really want to instantiate and destroy the object in each page request? That may be better than persisting the object in memory, though - that has its own set of problems. So, if you find yourself wanting to do this, you might try scoping the object in the Request scope. I don't know if that'll work, but it's worth a shot.
