Difference between demoted assembly and new assembly

Is there any difference between an assembly created using the new command and one created by demoting parts into it? I have an ilogic code that will not run on an assembly that was created using the demote command, but it runs fine on an assembly that was created using the new command. Both were created using the same template. When I try to run the code on the demoted assembly I get this error.

I have narrowed it down to this area of the code

'define Assembly Component Definition
Dim AsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
AsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition

If I comment out the last line then I do not get the error so I think that the error comes from the ComponentDefinition object.

When is the code being run?

Is it possible it's not the active document when run?

Nevermind, I restarted Inventor and now the code works as expected.
