For those interested ... some time back I posted a message saying I was setting my forms' position and size in the Init or Show methods but that some ( not all ) forms were flashing before appearing in the adjusted position/size. I finally tracked this down to doing a SetFocus in the Init or Show of the errant forms. This was forcing the Activate to fire which was flashing the form before it finally displayed in its desired position/size. I removed the offending SetFocus statement(s), the problem disappeared and life is good again. :-)
