Thank you all for your responses. It looks like I need to keep experimenting :-)
Jeremy, the actual problem is an access violation that occurs in the first few lines of the TCustomForm.SetWindowToMonitor method of the Forms unit. Depending on how I've set the default monitor property in my forms, it'll be either line 3958, 3960, or 3963. In each case, the program is unable to get a value for a Monitor.Handle property. > Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:37:11 +1000 > Subject: Re: Unable to Get Handle On Monitor > From: jeremy.no...@gmail.com > To: delphi@elists.org > > So what is the actual problem? > > > On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 4:31 AM, Alan Colburn<aicolb...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi folks -- > > > > When I start my app with: > > > > Data:=TData.Create(Application); > > Application.Title := 'Performance Gradebook'; > > Application.CreateForm(TfrmMain, frmMain); > > Application.Run; > > > > everything works fine.
