Not sure. It sure sounds like the forms aren't MDI-enabled. Let's find out. In
the
afterInit() code of a child form, put:
app = self.Application
print "afterInit()"
print "dabo.settings.MDI", dabo.settings.MDI
print "self.MDI", self.MDI
print "app.MainForm.MDI", app.MainForm.MDI
print "parent is app.MainForm", self.Parent is app.MainForm

Hmm, can you add a ticket for this? http://trac.dabodev.com
