I think maybe you just disguised the underlying problem for now. It still exists, and could come back to bite you again.
>>>There is no OnCreate procedure for this form either. There is always an OnCreate event. You did not create your own, but you did inherit one. In fact, I generally delete the global form variable created with the form so that things like this can't happen. You should create and show it like this. var formVariable: TformName; begin FormVariable:=TFormName.Create(self); try FormVariable.ShowModal; finally FormVariable.Free; end; end; Cheers, MP
