AFAIK you can NOT have the read events in the form itself, it has to be in the program that calls the form the first time. In your project you must have a "master" program which must be set to Main (right-click the program in the project manager, and mark Set to main). This "master" program must have at lest two line:
Do form yourform
Read events
