TYPE_E_FIELDNOTFOUND

Diagnosing TYPE_E_FIELDNOTFOUND

The result TYPE_E_FIELDNOTFOUND (0x80028017) means the requested field/member cannot be found in the resolved Automation type.

Reproduce the same boundary

capture type GUID/name, MEMBERID or field name, library version, inheritance chain, and caller expectations.
Preserve the first lower-level status, request ID, or object generation before retry/cleanup changes it.

update the caller to the actual type contract or deploy the matching library version that contains the field. A new HRESULT afterward is evidence that execution crossed this boundary.
