There are some subtle differences in call and instantiation order of forms,
depending on how they are called and sometimes on how they are [object] structured.
Drew Speedie was famous for checking out theses hard to spot things -
look up his session notes in some older conference folder or try to find them online.

As forms were used as biz objects sometimes, creating them programmatically and not
entering the GUI part is necessary if you want to run such forms on a web server.
Early vfp had less options of tweaking....

>I have a formclass with code in the Refresh Method of certain objects. To my understanding all refresh methods are called as the final stage of the Init Event. However, in my case this doesn't occur if I instantiate the form with newobject(). It does occur if I call a form (scx) that is completely the formclass (vcx). There's no additional code in the scx. Who can explain this?
