That did the trick, the form now loads as an MDI child.
I then uncovered the next problem, that the default menu for the form
was replacing main form menu.
Looking at the code for dForm, I uncovered the Keyword argument
MenuBarClass, and setting that to None in the createForm sorted that
problem.
I hope this means I'm starting to get hang of how things work in Dabo.
