Hi

If you are using the stuff in object.c that most of the samples use
then:

Declare two object handlers and then instantiate them with the same TMD,
as follows:

ObjectHandler	object1;
ObjectHandler	object2;
u_long		tmdObject = 0x80090000

InitSingleObject(&object1);
BringObjectToLife(&object1,PART,tmdObject,0,NONE);
RegisterObjectIntoObjectArray(&object1);

InitSingleObject(&object2);
BringObjectToLife(&object2,PART,tmdObject,0,NONE);
RegisterObjectIntoObjectArray(&object2);


It worked for me, so I see no reason why it should not work for you. 
Hope this helps.

Regards

Simon Wood
