Well Richard,
It actually isn't quite the active form, yet, since this
is part of the code that handles the frmOpenEvent.
Actually, I guess that means that it is active but
hasn't yet been displayed.
In any case, I do call FrmGetActiveForm() to set the
form pointer, and it is a valid form. All other operations
on the form work just fine. Substituting FrmSetTitle()
works, albeit with the buggy behavior I complained about
in my original post,and FrmCopyTitle() doesn't, under the
same circumstances. So what's up with that?
Are FrmSetTitle() and FrmCopyTitle() working with the same
set of assumptions? I'd be happy to read more detailed
documentation, if I could find it.
Thanks.
