Select set and function member being cancelled

Hey

this is a strange one for me, hopefully i can get answer to-

I am create a Face member

Dim oFace As Face

Set oFace = oApp.CommandManager.Pick(kAllPlanarEntities, "pick face 1")

I use this face with another face selection to get an edge (see other recent posts)

long story short, when i run a Sweep function, oFace becomes empty. I am checking the Edge count and the moment the Sweep is initiated, i lose the face and edge count. I added an ObjectCollection and assigned the face to it which still remains in the collection after the Sweep but i am unable to reasign oFace as the Collection object... There is only 1 face in the collection

What could cause this behavior? I have turned off any error trapping and nothing is occurring.. My Sweep code is this

Dim oSketch As PlanarSketch Set oSketch = oCompDef.Sketches.Add(oWP, False) Dim oProfile As Profile Set oProfile = oSketch.Profiles.AddForSolid Dim oLine As SketchLine3D Set oLine = oSketch3D.Include(oEdge) Dim oPath As Path Set oPath = oCompDef.Features.CreatePath(oLine) Dim SweepFeats As SweepFeatures Set SweepFeats = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.SweepFeatures Dim spDef As SweepDefinition Set spDef = SweepFeats.CreateSweepDefinition(kPathSweepType, oProfile, oPath, kCutOperation) Dim sp As SweepFeature Set sp = SweepFeats.Add(spDef) 'this line changes oFace to nothing

realised that when the Sweep Feature was implemented, the original selected face no longer existed as it was different.
