Forms & Form designer
i am maintaining someone else's application and i have run into an unusual stumbling block : i cannot get a form to display.
When i use createobject to make a form appear and then issue show the form releases from memory.
When i use DO FORM and trace the firing of events in the form the event sequence goes something like
LOAD , INIT , .... UNLOAD
i used messageboxes to observe this behaviour.
Regarding the forms in the app that do work properly ...
when i trace them using SET STEP ON just before a DO FORM is issued.
I trace through the form ... and guess what ... the form never does appear on the display.
When i do not trace the "original" forms they appear fine.
i have checked the visible property it is set to true.
It seems that when the "Show" event fires .. the UNLOAD or RELEASE event fires next.
any help is appreciated
