Which framework? If you have a dataenvironment the form initialization sequence is
dataenvironment.opentables
.beforeopentables
form.load
dataenvironment.init
form.init
form.show
form.activate

Maxframe - I think you have that - If you're using a dataenvironment, you may need to add THISFORM.DEBeforeOpenTables() as the very first line in the dataenvironment.beforeopentables, which among other things will turn off SET TALK.
