Load() comes before Init(). Specifically, Form.Load() is executed before the Init() of contained objects, Form.Init() is executed after the Init() of contained objects.

This makes Load() the ideal place to prepare tables, since otherwise, contained controls may report an error (could not bind controlsource, or something similar).

Also, since Form.Init() executes after the Init() of the contained objects, you can control the contained objects from there, for instance, change the .Visible or the .ReadOnly property, depending on some condition.
