Single-step task in background 4.0B

[Benson, Darlene]

Hi everyone,
 
I have created a single-step task so that I can access a particular object
method that I have created.  When the event is raised the task is getting
created correctly.  When the method is dialog and synchronous an executable
work item is created.  When I execute the work item the method runs and the
desired result occurs.  However, I need the task to run in background when
the event is raised.  So I took off the dialog option on the method and made
the task a background task.  Now when the task runs a work item type B is
created instead of W.  When I go to the list of work items (SWI1) I can see
that the item is in status completed but the desired result  does not occur.
I tried testing the method directly from the BOR and the desired result
occurs then, so I am not sure why it does not occur when run in background.
Any suggestions on what may be causing this problem are welcome.
